Mu1 Gruis
Mu1 Gruis, Latinized from μ1 Gruis, is a
binary star[3] system in the southern
Mu1 Gruis
constellation of Grus. It is visible to the Observation data
naked eye with a combined apparent visual Epoch J2000.0 Equinox J2000.0 (ICRS)
magnitude of 4.79.[2] The distance to this Constellation Grus
system, as determined using an annual
parallax shift of 11.44 mas as seen from the Right ascension 22h 15m 36.93338s[1]
Earth,[8] is around 275 light years. It is Declination −41° 20′ 48.3558″[1]
drifting closer with a heliocentric radial Apparent magnitude (V) 4.79[2] (5.20 + 6.68)[3]
velocity of −5 km/s.[1]
Characteristics
The pair orbit each other with a period of 19 Spectral type G8 III + G[4]
years and an eccentricity of 0.56.[6] The
U−B color index +0.47[2]
yellow-hued primary component is an
evolved giant star with stellar classification B−V color index +0.80[2]
of G III[4] and visual magnitude 5.20.[3] Astrometry
With the supply of hydrogen at its core
exhausted, it cooled and expanded; at Radial velocity (Rv ) −4.82 ± 1.54[1] km/s
present it has nine[1] times the girth of the Proper motion (μ) RA: +30.774[1] mas/yr
Sun. The star is radiating 67 times the Dec.: +42.645[1] mas/yr
luminosity of the Sun from its enlarged
Parallax (π) 13.5115 ± 0.2846[1] mas
photosphere at an effective temperature of
5,422 K.[1] Distance 241 ± 5 ly
(74 ± 2 pc)
The secondary component is magnitude Absolute magnitude (MV) +0.17[5]
6.68 and classed as a G-type star,[3]
although its color index and absolute Orbit[6]
magnitude suggest it is of type A6.[6] Period (P) +0.16
