Star in the constellation Triangulum
15 Trianguli is a suspected variable star located in the northern constellation Triangulum , with an apparent magnitude of 5.4[ 2] making it faintly visible to the naked eye under ideal conditions, although it is suspected of being an irregular variable with a range of 0.14 magnitudes.[ 5] The star is situated about 480 light years [ 1] away but is approaching with a heliocentric radial velocity of −8.646 km/s .[ 6]
15 Trianguli has a stellar classification of M3 III.[ 2] [ 4] It has 1.7 times the mass of the Sun and 118 times the radius of the Sun .[ 2] It has an effective temperature of 3,572 K [ 8] and shines at 1,668 times the luminosity of the Sun [ 7] from its photosphere , giving it an orange glow. It is an asymptotic giant branch star, which means it is fusing hydrogen and helium in separate shells around an inert carbon core.[ 3]
