Delta1 Telescopii is a blue-white-hued binary star[5] system in the southern constellation of Telescopium. It is faintly visible to the naked eye, having an apparent visual magnitude of 4.94.[2] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 4.61 mas as seen from Earth,[1] this system is roughly 710 light-years from the Sun. At that distance, the visual magnitude is diminished by an extinction factor of 0.29 due to interstellar dust.[4]
This system is a single-lined spectroscopic binary with an orbital period of 18.8 days and an eccentricity of 0.51.[5] The estimated size of the semimajor axis has a minimum of 14.5×106 km, with the uncertainty due to lack of a value for the orbital inclination.[8] The primary, component A, has a stellar classification of B6 IV,[3] suggesting it is an evolving B-type subgiant star. Delta1 Telescopii has an estimated 4.5[3] times the mass of the Sun and about 4.7[6] times the Sun's radius. It is radiating 899[3] times the solar luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 12,417 K.[3]
