Eta Normae, Latinized from η Normae, is a single [8] star in the southern constellation of Norma. It is visible to the naked eye as a faint, yellow-hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.65. [2] The distance to this star is about 219 light years, based on parallax. [1] The Gamma Normids radiate from a position near this star. [9]
This is an aging giant star with a stellar classification of G8III, [3] having exhausted the supply of hydrogen at its core then swollen and cooled off the main sequence. At present it has a diameter of 11 [6] times that of the Sun. It is a red clump [5] giant, meaning it is on the horizontal branch and is generating energy through core helium fusion. The star has 2.78 [5] times the mass of the Sun and is radiating 72 [6] times the Sun's luminosity from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,052 K. [6] It is a source for X-ray emission. [10]
