Iota Pavonis (Latinized from ι Pavonis) is a binary star[14] in the southern constellation of Pavo. It is located at a distance of 58.0 light-years (17.79 parsecs) from the Sun based on its parallax.[1] It has an apparent visual magnitude of 5.47,[2] making it very faintly visible to the naked eye from the southern hemisphere.

Iota Pavonis consists of a solar-type primary star and a low-mass stellar companion detected by radial velocity and astrometry.[8]

Nomenclature

ι Pavonis (Latinized to Iota Pavonis) is the star's Bayer designation, abbreviated Iota Pav or ι Pav. It is also known by its Henry Draper Catalogue designation HD 165499, as well as several other catalogue designations.[13]

Properties

The primary star has a stellar classification of G0 V,[3] indicating that it is a G-type main sequence star. It is similar to the Sun, having a similar mass, slightly hotter effective temperature, and slightly lower metallicity; but is somewhat larger and more luminous.[9] At an age of about 7 billion years, it is significantly older than the Sun.[12]

Radial velocity and astrometric measurements suggest that the low-mass stellar companion has a mass of around 0.13 solar masses, and orbits the primary star in a moderately eccentric orbit at a distance of around astronomical unit|AU.[8]

Iota Pavonis is not listed in the Washington Double Star Catalog, and hence is included in the NASA Exoplanet Exploration Program (ExEP) Mission Star List (EMSL),[15] despite the separation between the two stars being less than 1 arcsecond, whereas the EMSL intended to exclude binaries with stellar companion separated by less than 3 arcseconds.[16]
