ζ1 Ant B

Zeta1 Antliae is a binary star system in the southern constellation of Antlia. Its Bayer designation is Latinized from ζ1 Antliae, and abbreviated Zet1 Ant or ζ1 Ant, respectively. Based upon parallax measurements, the pair are located at a distance of roughly 340 light-years (100 parsecs) from Earth. They have apparent magnitudes of +6.20 and +7.01 and have an angular separation of 8.042 arcseconds. The combined apparent magnitude of the system is +5.76, which is bright enough to be seen with the naked eye in suitably dark skies.

The two system components A and B are both A-type main sequence stars; which means they are hotter, larger, and more luminous than the Sun. The primary is spinning rapidly and the secondary more slowly. The primary has 2.46 times the mass of the Sun and 2.26 times the Sun's radius. It is radiating 39.8 times the Sun's net luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 9,641 K. The secondary 2.23 times the mass and 1.74 times the first of the Run. It shines with 16.9 times the luminosity of the Sun at 8,872 K.
