Lambda1 Sculptoris, Latinised from λ1 Sculptoris, is a double star system in the southern constellation of Sculptor. It is close to the lower limit of visibility to the naked eye, with a combined apparent visual magnitude of +6.05.[2] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 6.89 mas as measured from Earth,[1] it is located roughly 470 light-years from the Sun. At that distance, the visual magnitude is diminished by an extinction factor of 0.026 due to interstellar dust.[10]
The brighter star, component A, has a visual magnitude of 6.6, while the secondary, component B, is magnitude 7.0.[3] As of 2000, the pair had an angular separation of 0.737 arcsecond along a position angle of 14.0°.[3] Component A is a blue-white-hued B-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of B9.5 V.[4] It has 2.8 times the mass of the Sun and radiates 94 times the solar luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 10,351 K.[8] The mass ratio is 0.609, meaning the secondary is only 60.9% as massive as the primary.[11]
