1 Lupi
Star in the constellation Lupus
This article is about i Lupi (1 Lupi). Not to be confused with
ι (iota) Lupi .
1 Lupi is a solitary[ 11] giant star in the southern constellation of Lupus . It has the Bayer designation i Lupi ; 1 Lupi is the Flamsteed designation . The apparent visual magnitude is 4.90,[ 2] which indicates it is faintly visible to the naked eye. Based on parallax measurements, this star is approximately 1,800 light-years from the Sun .[ 1] It is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of −23 km/s.[ 6]
Houk (1978) assigned the spectral classification of this star as F1III,[ 3] which suggests it is an F-type (yellow-white) star that has evolved away from the main sequence and expanded into a giant . However, Gray et al. (2001) found a class of F0 Ib-II,[ 4] matching a supergiant /bright giant star. It has a mass around seven times that of the Sun [ 8] and has expanded to 41[ 1] times the Sun's radius . The star is radiating 2,900[ 9] times the luminosity of the Sun from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 6,867 K .[ 6] The estimated age of the star is around 47 million years.[ 8]
