Yellow supergiant star in the constellation Centaurus
HD 101570 is a single[ 8] star in the southern constellation of Centaurus . It has a yellow hue and is faintly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.93. The star is located at a distance of approximately 1,080 light years from the Sun based on parallax , and is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +18 km/s. It has an absolute magnitude of −2.24.
This is an ageing supergiant star with a stellar classification of G3Ib.[ 3] Having exhausted the supply of hydrogen at its core , the star has expanded to 61 times the radius of the Sun . It has an abnormally high rate of rotation for its evolutionary state, showing a projected rotational velocity of 21.4 km/s.[ 9] The star is radiating 1,641 times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,753 K.
