Iota Apodis (ι Aps, ι Apodis) is the Bayer designation for a binary star [3] system in the southern circumpolar constellation of Apus. It is a faint target at an apparent visual magnitude of 5.41, [2] but still visible to the naked eye from suitably dark skies. The distance to this star can be roughly gauged from parallax measurements, yielding an estimate of 1,300 light-years (400 parsecs) with a 20% margin of error. [1]
Both stars are B-type main sequence stars, which indicates they shine with a blue-white hue. [8] The brighter component has a stellar classification of B9 V and an apparent magnitude 5.90, while the second member is a B9.5 V star with a magnitude of 6.46. The pair have an angular separation of 0.091 arcseconds [3] with an estimated orbital period of 59.32 years. They are about 3.89 and 3.45 times as massive as the Sun. [6]
Naming
In Chinese caused by adaptation of the European southern hemisphere constellations into the Chinese system, 異雀 (Yì Què), meaning Exotic Bird, refers to an asterism consisting of ι Apodis, ζ Apodis, β Apodis, γ Apodis, δ Octantis, δ1 Apodis, η Apodis, α Apodis and ε Apodis. Consequently, ι Apodis itself is known as 異雀二 (Yì Què èr, English: the Second Star of Exotic Bird.) [9]
