Delta Antliae is a binary star[5] system in the southern constellation of Antlia. Its Bayer designation is Latinized from δ Antliae, and is abbreviated Del Ant or δ Ant, respectively. The combined apparent visual magnitude of the system is +5.57,[2] allowing it to be viewed from the suburbs with the naked eye. Based on the parallax shift of this system, it is located at a distance of approximately 470 light-years from Earth.[1] The system is reduced in magnitude by 0.03 due to extinction caused by intervening gas and dust.[3]
The primary component of the system has a stellar classification of B9.5 V, indicating that it is a B-type main sequence star. This star has an estimated 3.4[5] times the mass of the Sun. It is radiating around 200[5] times as much luminosity as the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 11,117 K.[5] At this heat, it shines with the characteristic blue-white hue of a B-type star.[9] The companion is an F-type main sequence star with a classification of F9 Ve, where the 'e' indicates that there are emission lines in the spectrum.
This is a young system with age estimates of 120[10] and 214[5] million years, with the secondary still in the post T Tauri stage.[7] The two stars are separated by 11 arcseconds,[3] corresponding to a physical separation of about 2,200 AU.[10]
