Iota Geminorum (ι Geminorum, ι Gem) is a solitary[9] fourth-magnitude star in the constellation Gemini. In the sky, it forms an isosceles triangle with Castor and Pollux, and is located less than a degree from the 5th magnitude stars 64 and 65 Geminorum.[10]

Nomenclature

[edit]

In Chinese, 五諸侯 (Wu Zhū Hóu), meaning Five Feudal Kings, refers to an asterism consisting of ι Geminorum, θ Geminorum, τ Geminorum, υ Geminorum and φ Geminorum.[11] Consequently, ι Geminorum itself is known as 五諸侯三 (Wu Zhū Hóu sān, English: the Third Star of Five Feudal Kings.).[12] It has been called by the proper name Propus, meaning "forefoot" in Latin, but this name is now assigned to η Geminorum.[13]

Properties

[edit]

Based upon an annual parallax shift of 27.10 mass,[1] Iota Geminorum lies some 120.4 light years from the Sun. This is an evolved red clump[14] giant star with a stellar classification of G9 III.[3] It is most likely a member of the galactic thin disk population.[5] The star has 1.89[6] times the mass of the Sun, but has expanded to 9.5 times the solar radius. It shines with 54 times the Sun's luminosity from its outer atmosphere at an effective temperature of 5,072 K.[7]
