Sigma2 Gruis is a binary star[3] system in the southern constellation of Grus. Its apparent visual magnitude is 5.86.[2] The pair had an angular separation of 2.7 arc seconds along a position angle of 265°, as of 1991.[11] Located around 215 ly (66 pc) distant, the white-hued primary component is an A-type main-sequence star of spectral type A1V,[5] a star that is currently fusing its core hydrogen. The much fainter secondary companion has a visual magnitude of 10.03.[11]
