1 Scorpii, or b Scorpii, is a single[9] star in the southern zodiac constellation of Scorpius. It has an apparent magnitude of 4.63,[2] which is bright enough to be faintly visible to the naked eye on a dark night. The star shows an annual parallax shift of 6.59 mas from Earth's orbit, which equates to a distance of roughly 490 light years. It is a probable (89% chance) member of the Sco OB2 moving group.[10][9]
This is a B-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of B1.5 Vn,[3] where the 'n' suffix indicates "nebulous" absorption lines being induced by rapid rotation. It has a projected rotational velocity of 310 km/s, which is giving the star an oblate shape with an equatorial bulge that is 13% wider than the polar radius.[7] There is some weak evidence that this is a Be star with a gaseous disk that is being viewed edge-on.[11]
1 Scorpii is a young star at around 10[5] million years old, with 8.3[5] times the mass of the Sun and 3.7 times the Sun's radius.[6] The star is radiating 3,890 times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of about 24,000 K.[6]
