ν Chamaeleontis, Latinized as Nu Chamaeleontis, is a single [7] star in the southern circumpolar constellation of Chamaeleon. It is a yellow-hued star, dimly visible to the naked eye, with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.43. [2] This object is located at a distance of 189 light-years from the Sun, based on its parallax, [1] and is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +11 km/s. [5] It has an absolute magnitude of 1.59. [2]
This object is an aging G-type giant star with a stellar classification of G8III. [3] Having exhausted the supply of hydrogen at its core, it has expanded and cooled off the main sequence; at present it has 6.5 [1] times the girth of the Sun. The star has 1.6 [2] times the mass of the Sun and is radiating 24 [1] times the Sun's luminosity from its swollen photosphere at an effective temperature of 5008 K. [1] These coordinates are a source for X-ray emission, which is most likely (99.3% chance) coming from the star. [8]
