Star in the constellation Tucana
Eta Tucanae , Latinized from η Tucanae, is a probable binary star [ 6] constellation of Tucana , a few degrees to the north of Epsilon Tucanae . It is visible to the naked eye as a dim, white-hued point of light with an apparent visual magnitude of +5.00.[ 2] parallax measurements provide a distance estimate of about 154 light years from the Sun, and it is drifting further away with a mean radial velocity of +32.5 km/s.[ 4] Tucana-Horologium association of co-moving stars.[ 6] [ 2]
The radial velocity for Eta Tucanae displays strong oscillations, suggesting this is a spectroscopic binary system. A companion was directly detected in 2014, but this result has some unexplained anomalies.[ 6] A-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of A1V.[ 2] projected rotational velocity of 190 km/s,[ 6] [ 11] [ 6] mass of the Sun and 1.8[ 7] Sun's radius . It is radiating 23[ 8] luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 9,057 K.[ 8]
