Iota Andromedae is a single[13] star in the northern constellation of Andromeda. It has the Flamsteed designation 17 Andromedae, while Iota Andromedae is the Bayer designation as Latinized from ι Andromedae. This object is visible to the naked eye at night as a faint, blue-white hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of +4.29.[2] Based upon parallax measurements, it is located approximately 500 light years distant from the Sun.[1]

This object is a B-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of B8 V. It is among the least variable stars observed during the Hipparcos mission.[6] The star is 116[4] million years old with 3.1[4] times the mass of the Sun and is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 70 km/s.[11] It is radiating 638[7] times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 12,620 K.[10] The star is somewhat metal-poor, although the abundance of helium is close to solar. The latter excludes it from membership among the class of peculiar stars.[6] Iota Andromedae is a debris disk candidate, showing an infrared excess at a wavelength of 18 μm.[14]

Name

[edit]

In the catalogue of stars in the Calendarium of Al Achsasi Al Mouakket, this star was designated Keff al-Salsalat (كف المسلسلة - kaf al-musalsala), which was translated into Latin as Manus Catenata, meaning palm of chained woman.[15]

In Chinese, 螣蛇 (Téng Shé), meaning Flying Serpent, refers to an asterism consisting of ι Andromedae, α Lacertae, 4 Lacertae, π2 Cygni, π1 Cygni, HD 206267, ε Cephei, β Lacertae, σ Cassiopeiae, ρ Cassiopeiae, τ Cassiopeiae, AR Cassiopeiae, 9 Lacertae, 3 Andromedae, 7 Andromedae, 8 Andromedae, λ Andromedae, κ Andromedae and ψ Andromedae. Consequently, the Chinese name for ι Andromedae itself is 螣蛇二十二 (Téng Shé èrshíèr, English: the Twenty Second Star of Flying Serpent).[16]
