Pi1 Columbae, Latinized from π1 Columbae, is a star in the southern constellation of Columba. With an apparent visual magnitude of 6.13,[2] it is a dim, white-hued star that is near the limit of visibility for the naked eye. It is located approximately 280 light years from the Sun based on parallax,[1] and has an absolute magnitude of 1.55.[5]
This is an Am star with a stellar classification of A2mA5-A9.[3] It has 2.5 times the Sun's radius and shines with 20 times the luminosity of the Sun at an effective temperature of 7,765 K.[1] The star is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 70 km/s.[6]
