Pi1 Octantis
Star in the constellation of Octans
Pi1 Octantis (Pi1 Oct), Latinized π1 Octantis , is a solitary[ 11] star in the southern circumpolar constellation Octans . It is faintly visible to the naked eye with an apparent magnitude 5.64, and is estimated to be 387 light years away. However, it is receding with a heliocentric radial velocity of 14 km/s .[ 5]
Pi1 Oct has a stellar classification of G8/K0 III[ 3] — intermediate between a G8 and K0 giant star . It has 2.74 times the mass of the Sun and an effective temperature of 5,002 k ,[ 7] giving a yellow hue. However, an enlarged radius of 11.62 R ☉ yields a luminosity 76 times that of the Sun .[ 7] Pi1 Oct has a metallicity [ 7] around solar level and spins with a projected rotational velocity lower than 1 km/s .[ 8]
