Zeta Gruis, Latinised from ζ Gruis, is a solitary [7] star in the southern constellation of Grus. It is visible to the naked eye as a faint, orange-hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.12. [2] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 24.5 mas as seen from the Earth, [1] the system is located about 133 light-years from the Sun.
This is an evolved K-type giant star with a stellar classification of K1 III Fe−1.2 CN−0.5, [3] where the suffix notation indicates underabundances of iron and cyanogen in the spectrum. Having exhausted the supply of hydrogen at its core, the star has expanded and cooled; at present it has 10 [1] times the girth of the Sun. The star is radiating 46 [1] times the luminosity of the Sun from its swollen photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,778 K. [1]
