Zeta Octantis, Latinized from ζ Octantis, is a solitary,[16] yellowish-white hued star located in the southern circumpolar constellation Octans. It has an apparent magnitude of 5.42,[2] making it faintly visible to the naked eye under ideal conditions. The star is located relatively close at a distance of only 156 light-years based on Gaia DR3 parallax measurements,[1] but is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −3.6 km/s.[6] At its current distance, Zeta Octantis' brightness is diminished by 0.25 magnitudes due to interstellar dust.[17]

This s an evolved A-type star with a stellar classification of A8/9 IV.[3] David S. Evans and colleagues, however, give it a classification of F0 III,[4] which suggests it is already an evolved giant star. It has double the Sun's mass,[8] and 2.25 times the Sun's radius.[9] It radiates around 13 times the luminosity of the Sun[1] from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 7,063 K.[10] Zeta Octantis is estimated to be 1.25 billion years olds based on stellar evolution models by Trevor J. David and Lynne A. Hillenbrand.[13] It has a low metallicity, having only 44% the abundance of heavy metals compared to the Sun.[11] Despite its advanced age, the object spins rapidly with a projected rotational velocity of 115 km/s,[12] resulting in an oblate shape with a equatorial bulge 11% larger than the polar radius.[18]
