Lambda1 Tucanae is the Bayer designation for one member of a pair of stars sharing a common proper motion through space, [8] which lie within the southern constellation of Tucana. As of 2013, the pair had an angular separation of 20.0 arc seconds along a position angle of 82°. [2] Together, they are barely visible to the naked eye with a combined apparent visual magnitude of 6.21. [5] Based upon an annual parallax shift for both stars of approximately 16.5 [1] [3] mas as seen from Earth, this system is located roughly 198 light years from the Sun.
The brighter member, component A, is a magnitude 6.70 [2] F-type star with a stellar classification of F7 IV-V. [4] The luminosity class may indicate that, at the age of 2.6 billion years, [10] it is beginning to evolve away from the main sequence. It has an estimated 1.55 [8] times the mass of the Sun and is radiating 7 [9] times the solar luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 6,325 K. [10] The magnitude 7.35 [2] companion, component B, has 1.38 [8] times the mass of the Sun. If the pair are gravitationally bound, then their estimated orbital period is 27,000 years. [8]
