Nu Doradus
Star in the constellation Dorado
Nu Doradus , Latinized from ν Doradus, is a single,[ 10] blue-white hued star in the southern constellation of Dorado . It is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of +5.06.[ 2] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 10.88 mas as seen from Earth,[ 1] it is located about 300 light years from the Sun.[ 11] At that distance, the visual magnitude is diminished by an extinction of 0.07 due to interstellar dust . It is moving further from the Sun with a heliocentric radial velocity of +17.5 km/s.[ 4]
This is an ordinary B-type main-sequence star , as indicated by its stellar classification of B8 V.[ 3] It is an estimated 118[ 6] million years old and is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 98 km/s.[ 6] The star has 2.7[ 6] times the mass of the Sun and about 3.2[ 7] times the Sun's radius . It is radiating 107[ 5] times the Sun's luminosity from its photoshere at an effective temperature of 11,381 K.[ 6] No infrared excess has been detected.[ 12]
