Theta1 Crucis (θ1 Cru, Theta1 Crucis) is a spectroscopic binary star system in the southern constellation of Crux. It is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.30m.[2] The distance to this star, as determined using parallax measurements,[1] is around 235 light years.
The pair orbit each other closely with a period of 24.5 days and an eccentricity of 0.61.[6] The primary component is an Am star, which is a chemically peculiar A-type star that shows anomalous variations in absorption lines of certain elements.[10] It has a stellar classification of A3(m)A8-A8.[3] With a mass 157% times that of the Sun,[7] it radiates 81[8] times the Sun's luminosity from its outer atmosphere at an effective temperature of 7341 K.[7] Unusually for a fully radiative A-type star, X-ray emissions have been detected, which may instead be coming from the orbiting companion.[11]
