Xi1 Ceti , Latinized from ξ1 Ceti, is a binary star [ 10] system located in the equatorial constellation of Cetus . It is visible to the naked eye with a combined apparent visual magnitude of +4.36.[ 2] The distance to this system is approximately 340 light years based on parallax measurements, and it is drifting closer to the Sun with a radial velocity of −4 km/s.[ 2] The proximity of the star to the ecliptic means it is subject to lunar occultations .[ 11]
The spectroscopic binary nature of Xi1 Ceti was discovered in 1901 by William Wallace Campbell using the Mills spectrograph at the Lick Observatory .[ 12] [ 6] The pair have a circular orbit with a period of 4.5 years and a separation of 3.8 AU .[ 5] It is a suspected eclipsing binary with an amplitude of 0.03 in magnitude, which would suggest the orbital plane has a high inclination .[ 13]
The primary, designated component A, is a mild barium [ 14] giant star with a stellar classification of G7III Ba0.4 Fe-1 .[ 3] Morgan and Keenan in 1973 had classified it as a bright giant star with an anomalous underabundance of the CN molecule .[ 15] Evidence has been found for an overabundance of s-process elements,[ 5] although this is disputed.[ 7] The star has 3.8[ 5] times the mass and 18[ 1] times the radius of the Sun. The companion, component B, is a small white dwarf companion with 80% of the mass of the Sun and a class of DA4.[ 4] It was detected in 1985 by its ultraviolet emission.[ 8]
In Chinese , 天囷 (Tiān Qūn ), meaning Circular Celestial Granary , refers to an asterism consisting of α Ceti , κ1 Ceti , λ Ceti , μ Ceti , ξ1 Ceti, ξ2 Ceti , ν Ceti , γ Ceti , δ Ceti , 75 Ceti , 70 Ceti , 63 Ceti and 66 Ceti . Consequently, the Chinese name for Xi1 Ceti itself is "the Fifth Star of Circular Celestial Granary", Tiān Qūn Wu .[ 16]
