Lambda Doradus (Lambda Dor), Latinized from λ Doradus, is a solitary[13] yellow hued star located in the southern constellation Dorado. It has an apparent magnitude of 5.13,[2] making it faintly visible to the naked eye if viewed under ideal conditions. Parallax measurements place the star at a distance of 551 light years,[1] and it is currently receding with a heliocentric radial velocity of 10 km/s.[7]

Lambda Dor has a stellar classification of either G6[4] or G8 III,[5] depending on the source. Nevertheless, both indicate that it is a red giant, and it is currently on the red giant branch fusing hydrogen in a shell outside a helium core.[3] At present it has 3.82 times the mass of the Sun[9] and at an age of 258 million years, it has expanded to a radius of 21.2 R☉.[9] It radiates at over 250 times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,009 K.[9] Lambda Dor is slightly metal deficient, with an iron abundance 12% below solar levels.[9] It currently spins with a projected rotational velocity of 5.2 km/s.[10]
