Delta Trianguli, Latinized from Delta Tri, is a spectroscopic binary star system approximately 35 light-years (11 pc) away in the constellation of Triangulum. The primary star is a yellow dwarf, while the secondary star is thought to be an orange dwarf. It has an apparent magnitude of +4.87 and forms an optical (line-of-sight) triple with Gamma Trianguli and 7 Trianguli. [7]
Stellar components
Delta Trianguli A is a main sequence star with a stellar classification of G0V and a mass similar to the Sun. [7] The spectral characteristics of the smaller companion Delta Trianguli B are not well determined since the close orbit makes observations difficult, [12] with estimates of the spectral class ranging from G9V to K4V. [3] The Delta Trianguli stars orbit their center of mass with an estimated separation of 0.106 AU; [7] it is certainly less than one AU. [3] The orbital period is 10.02 days and the eccentricity of the orbit is only 0.020. The orbit is inclined about 167° to the line of sight from Earth. [6]
A 2008 search for a tertiary companion to this system using an adaptive optics system on the VLT proved unsuccessful. [13] Examination of the system in infrared light at 70 μm shows no excess emission that would otherwise indicate the presence of a disk of orbiting dust. [3]
Naming
In Chinese, 天大將軍 (Tiān Dà Jiāng Jūn), meaning Heaven's Great General, refers to an asterism consisting of δ Trianguli γ Andromedae, φ Persei, 51 Andromedae, 49 Andromedae, χ Andromedae, υ Andromedae, τ Andromedae, 56 Andromedae, β Trianguli and γ Trianguli. Consequently, the Chinese name for δ Trianguli itself is 天大將軍十一 (Tiān Dà Jiāng Jūn shíyī, English: the Eleventh Star of Heaven's Great General.). [14]
