Variable star in the constellation Chamaeleon
Zeta Chamaeleontis
,
Latinized
from ζ Chamaeleontis, is a
star
located in the constellation
Chamaeleon
. Located around 540 light-years distant, it shines with a
luminosity
approximately 522 times that of the Sun and has a surface temperature of 15,655 K.
South African Astronomer A.W.J. Cousins noted ζ Cha to vary between magnitudes 5.06 and 5.17 in 1960.
[13]
It was classified as a
Beta Cephei variable
in the Hipparcos and Tycho Catalogues (ESA 1997), with a period of 1.07 days,
[14]
before being reclassified as a
slowly pulsating B star
in the 2011 version.
[15]
It is now known to be an
eclipsing binary
star, with a period of 2.7 days,
[4]
with continuous variation through the whole cycle due to the ellipsoidal shape of the component stars.
[5]
It is a B5V
main sequence
star with an
effective temperature
of
15,655
K
, an absolute magnitude of ?1.15 and a mass of 3.1
solar masses
, although the properties are evaluated treating the system as a single star.
