Delta Trianguli Australis (Delta TrA), Latinized from δ Trianguli Australis, is a solitary, [14] yellow-hued star in the constellation Triangulum Australe. It has an apparent magnitude of 3.84, [2] making it readily visible to the naked eye under ideal conditions, Parallax measurements place the object at a distance of 606 light years (182 parsecs). [1] It has a heliocentirc radial velocity of −4.9 km/s, [5] indicating that it is drifting towards the Solar System.
Delta TrA has a stellar classification of G2 Ib-IIa [3] — an evolved G-type star with a luminosity class intermediate between a low luminosity supergiant and a bright giant. At present it has 6.5 times the mass of the Sun [7] and has an enlarged radius of 53.6 R☉. [8] It radiates at 1,210 times the luminosity of the Sun [9] from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,705 K. [8] Delta TrA has an iron abundance 89% that of the Sun, [10] placing it around solar metallicity. It spins modestly with a projected rotational velocity of 8.2 km/s, which is high for stars of this type. [11]
