Star in the constellation of Dorado
Lambda Doradus (Lambda Dor), Latinized from λ Doradus , is a solitary[ 14] yellow hued star located in the southern constellation Dorado . It has an apparent magnitude of 5.13,[ 2] making it faintly visible to the naked eye if viewed under ideal conditions. Parallax measurements place the star at a distance of 551 light years ,[ 1] and it is currently receding with a heliocentric radial velocity of 10 km/s .[ 7]
Lambda Dor has a stellar classification of either G6[ 4] or G8 III,[ 5] depending on the source. Nevertheless, both indicate that it is a red giant , and it is currently on the red giant branch fusing hydrogen in a shell outside a helium core.[ 3] At present it has 3.82 times the mass of the Sun [ 9] and at an age of 258 million years , it has expanded to a radius of 21.2 R ☉ .[ 9] It radiates at over 250 times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,009 K .[ 9] Lambda Dor is slightly metal deficient, with an iron abundance 12% below solar levels.[ 9] It currently spins with a projected rotational velocity of 5.2 km/s .[ 10]
