Lambda1 Tucanae

Lambda1 Tucanae is the Bayer designation for one member of a pair of stars sharing a common proper motion through space,[8] which lie within the southern constellation of Tucana. As of 2013, the pair had an angular separation of 20.0 arc seconds along a position angle of 82°.[2] Together, they are barely visible to the naked eye with a combined apparent visual magnitude of 6.21.[5] Based upon an annual parallax shift for both stars of approximately 16.5[1][3] mas as seen from Earth, this system is located roughly 198 light years from the Sun.

companion

The brighter member, component A, is a magnitude 6.70[2] F-type star with a stellar classification of F7 IV-V.[4] The luminosity class may indicate that, at the age of 2.6 billion years,[10] it is beginning to evolve away from the main sequence. It has an estimated 1.55[8] times the mass of the Sun and is radiating 7[9] times the solar luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 6,325 K.[10] The magnitude 7.35[2] companion, component B, has 1.38[8] times the mass of the Sun. If the pair are gravitationally bound, then their estimated orbital period is 27,000 years.[8]
