W Hydrae is a Mira-type variable star in the constellation Hydra. The star is nearly located within the Solar neighborhood, at 320 light years from the Solar System. It has a visual apparent magnitude range of 5.6 to 10. In the near-infrared J band it has a magnitude of -1.7,[4] is the 7th brightest star in the night sky, and is even brighter than Sirius.

Water masers and dust

Spectrum of water vapour towards W Hydrae obtained with APEX

The star also shows signs of intense water emissions, indicative of the presence of a wide disk of dust and water vapour.[8] Such emissions cover a zone spanning between 10.7 Astronomical Units (within Saturn's orbital zone) and 1.2 parsecs (or nearly 247,500 Astronomical Units, as far away as the Oort Cloud in Solar System).

    This is a navigational template created using {{navbox}}. It can be transcluded on pages by placing {{W Hydrae}} below the standard article appendices.

    Initial visibility

    This template's initial visibility currently defaults to autocollapse, meaning that if there is another collapsible item on the page (a navbox, sidebar, or table with the collapsible attribute), it is hidden apart from its title bar; if not, it is fully visible.

    To change this template's initial visibility, the |state= parameter may be used:

    • {{W Hydrae|state=collapsed}} will show the template collapsed, i.e. hidden apart from its title bar.
    • {{W Hydrae|state=expanded}} will show the template expanded, i.e. fully visible.

    Templates using the classes class=navbox ({{navbox}}) or class=nomobile ({{sidebar}}) are not displayed in article space on the mobile web site of English Wikipedia. Mobile page views accounted for 60% to 70% of all page views from 2020 through 2025. Briefly, these templates are not included in articles because 1) they are not well designed for mobile, and 2) they significantly increase page sizes—bad for mobile downloads—in a way that is not useful for the mobile use case. You can review/watch phab:T124168 for further discussion.
