Delta Hydrae, Latinized from δ Hydrae, is a double star in the equatorial constellationofHydra. It is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.146.[2] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 20.34 mas, it is located about 160 light years from the Sun.

This is a double star[10] with an angular separation of 2.6±0.1 arc second along a position angleof265.1°±1.0°, as of 2003.[11] The brighter component is an A-type main sequence star with a stellar classification of A1 Vnn.[3] It is spinning rapidly with a projected rotational velocity of 285 km/s. This is giving the star an oblate shape with an equatorial bulge that is 20% larger than the polar radius.[3] It has an estimated 2.88[6] times the mass of the Sun and 2.7[7] times the Sun's radius.[7] The star is about 244 million years old and it radiates 42.7[8] times the solar luminosity from its outer atmosphere at an effective temperature of 11,055 K.[6]

The companion has a visual magnitude of 11.15.[10] X-ray emissions have been detected from this location in space, which may be coming from a companion star.[11]

Name and etymology

[edit]

In the catalogue of stars in the Calendarium of Al Achsasi Al Mouakket, this star was designated Lisan al Shudja, which was translated into LatinasLingua Hydri, meaning the snake's tongue.[12] This star, along with ε Hya, ζ Hya, η Hya, ρ Hya and σ Hya (Minchir), were Ulugh Beg's Min al Azʽal, "Belonging to the Uninhabited Spot".[13]

According to the catalogue of stars in the Technical Memorandum 33-507 - A Reduced Star Catalog Containing 537 Named Stars, Min al AzʽalorMinazal were the title for five stars :δ Hya as Minazal I, η HyaasMinazal II, ε HyaasMinazal III, ρ HyaasMinazal IV and ζ HyaasMinazal V (exclude σ Hya)[14]

InChinese, 柳宿 (Liǔ Sù), meaning Willow (asterism), refers to an asterism consisting of δ Hydrae, σ Hydrae, η Hydrae, ρ Hydrae, ε Hydrae, ζ Hydrae, ω Hydrae and θ Hydrae[15] Consequently, δ Hydrae itself is known as 柳宿一 (Liǔ Sù yī, English: the First Star of Willow.)[16]

The people of Groote Eylandt called Unwala, "The Crab", for the star cluster including this star, ε Hya, ζ Hya, η Hya, ρ Hya and σ Hya (Minchir).[17]
