Rho Telescopii (ρ Tel, ρ Telescopii) is the Bayer designation for an astrometric binary [9] star system in the southern constellation of Telescopium. It is visible to the naked eye, with an apparent visual magnitude of +5.17. [2] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 17.63 mas as measured from Earth, [1] it is located approximately 185 light years from the Sun.
This appears to be a single-lined spectroscopic binary as it displays radial velocity variation with a period of 1.7 days. [9] The visible component is an F-type main sequence star with a stellar classification of F6 V. [3] It has about double the mass of the Sun and is radiating 25.6 [6] times the solar luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 6,303 K. [4] The star is a bright X-ray source with a luminosity of 65.76×1029 ergs s−1. [10]
Relative to neighboring stars, Rho Telescopii has a peculiar velocity of 17.2 km s−1. [11] It may be a member of the Tucana-Horologium association. [12]
