Rho1 Sagittarii

Summary

Rho1 Sagittarii, Latinized from ρ1 Sagittarii, is a single,[13] variable star in the southern constellation of Sagittarius. It has a white hue and is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude that fluctuates around 3.93.[2] The distance to this star is approximately 127 light years based on parallax,[1] and it is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +1.2 km/s.[5] It is positioned near the ecliptic and so it can be occulted by the Moon.[14]

This object has a stellar classification of A9IV,[3] matching a subgiant star that is evolving away from the main sequence. It is a low amplitude Delta Scuti variable, ranging from 3.94 to 3.90 magnitude with a period of 0.05 days.[4] The star is 893[9] million years old and is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 68 km/s.[11] It has 1.9[7] times the mass of the Sun and 3.3[8] times the Sun's radius. The star is radiating 31 times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 7,469 K.[8]
