Delta Arae is a binary star[7] in the southern constellation Ara. Its name is a Bayer designation that is Latinized from δ Arae, and abbreviated Delta Ara or δ Ara. This system has an apparent visual magnitude of 3.62[2] and is visible to the naked eye as a point of light. Based upon an annual parallax of Template:Val, it is about Template:Convert distant from the Earth.[1]

Characteristics

This is an astrometric binary system, identified using data from the Gaia spacecraft. The components have an orbital period of about 2.47 years and a high orbital eccentricity of 0.7380. The orbit is nearly edge-on relative to Earth.[7]

The brighter component is an intermediate-mass B-type main sequence star with a stellar classification of B8 Vn.[3] The 'n' suffix indicates the absorption lines are spread out broadly because the star is spinning rapidly. It has a projected rotational velocity of 255 km/s, resulting in an equatorial bulge with a radius 13% larger than the polar radius.[9] The star has 3.44 times the mass[7] and 3.1 times the radius of the Sun.[8] It is radiating 214 times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere[6] at an effective temperature of 12,549 K.[7]

The secondary is 1.27 times fainter than the primary at Gaia's G-band, it has 2.03 times the mass of the Sun and an effective temperature of 9,161 K.[7]

There is a magnitude 9.5 companion G-type main sequence star that may (17% chance) form a gravitationally bpund system with Delta Arae.[4] A 12th magnitude optical companion is located 47.4 arcseconds away along a position angle of 313°.[10]

Etymology

Delta Arae was known as Script error: No such module "Lang". (meaning: "the 3rd (star) of Script error: No such module "Lang".") in traditional Chinese astronomy.[12][13]

Allen erroneously called both Delta and Zeta Arae "Tseen Yin" (Script error: No such module "Lang".).[14] He probably confused the constellation "Ara" with "Ari", as 天陰 is actually in Aries.[12][13]
