Star in the constellation Columba
Nu2 Columbae is a solitary star [ 11] in the southern constellation of Columba . It can be seen with the naked eye, having an apparent visual magnitude of 5.31.[ 2] With an annual parallax shift of 24.51 mas ,[ 1] it is estimated to lie about 133 light years from the Sun .
This star has a stellar classification of F5 V,[ 3] indicating that it is an F-type main sequence star that is generating energy through the thermonuclear fusion of hydrogen into helium in its core region. It has about 1.65 times the mass of the Sun [ 4] and 1.6 times the Sun's radius .[ 6] X-ray emission has been detected from this star, with an estimated luminosity of 1.6× 1029 erg/s .[ 5] It is about 1.8 billion years old[ 4] and is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 27.2 km/s .[ 8] The star is radiating about 10 times the solar luminosity from its outer atmosphere [ 7] at an effective temperature of 6,473 K .[ 4]
