Delta Apodis (δ Aps, δ Apodis) is the Bayer designation for a double star in the southern constellation of Apus.

A light curve for Delta1 Apodis, plotted from Hipparcos data[10]

The brighter star, δ1 Apodis, is an M-type red giant and has an apparent magnitude that varies from magnitude +4.66 to +4.87.[11] It is classified as a semiregular variable with pulsations of multiple periods of 68.0, 94.9 and 101.7 days.[12] At an angular separation of 102.9 arcseconds is δ2 Apodis, an orange K-type giant with an apparent magnitude of +5.27.

Hipparcos data report the distance to δ1 Apodis to be approximately 760 light years, while δ2 Apodis is found to be around 610 light years from Earth. They may form a common proper motion pair.

Naming

[edit]

In Chinese caused by adaptation of the European southern hemisphere constellations into the Chinese system, 異雀 (Yì Què), meaning Exotic Bird, refers to an asterism consisting of δ1 Apodis, ζ Apodis, ι Apodis, β Apodis, γ Apodis, δ Octantis, η Apodis, α Apodis and ε Apodis. Consequently, δ1 Apodis itself is known as 異雀六 (Yì Què liù, English: the Sixth Star of Exotic Bird.)[13]
