Beta Hydri (β Hyi, β Hydri) is a star in the southern circumpolar constellation of Hydrus. (Note that Hydrus is not the same as Hydra.) With an apparent visual magnitude of 2.8, [2] this is the brightest star in the constellation. Based upon parallax measurements the distance to this star is about 24.33 light-years (7.46 parsecs).

Beta Hydri is a Federal system in the Core Systems within the Inner Orion Spur. Access to Beta Hydri is restricted, and requires a permit that can only be obtained by achieving the Federal Navy rank of Chief Petty Officer.

β Hydri is a variable sub-giant star of spectral class G2 in the constellation of Hydrus. β Hydri visual magnitude is 2.8. Because of its brightness, β Hydri is clearly visible to the naked eye when observed from locations with dark skies, and should be …

Beta Hydri was a unary star system in the Alpha Quadrant. (ENT: "Home") The Beta Hydri system was visible from Earth in the constellation Hydrus. It was approximately 24.33 light years from Sol. In 2154, this system's position was labeled on an United Earth star chart which was displayed in...

Beta Hydri is a yellow-orange main sequence dwarf star of spectral and luminosity type G2 IV. This star may have 1.1 times Sol's mass, 1.46 times its diameter (Johnson and Wright, 1983, page 645), and about 3.53 times its luminosity.

Beta Hydri is one of the oldest star in the Sun’s neighbourhood, as well as the nearest subgiant star to the solar system. Around the year 150 BC, it was only two degres from the southern celestial pole, and is now the nearest bright star to the South Pole.

Beta Hydri, the brightest star in Hydrus, is a yellow star of apparent magnitude 2.8, lying 24 light-years from Earth. [15] It has about 104% of the mass of the Sun and 181% of the Sun's radius, with more than three times the Sun's luminosity. [16]

At 1.1 solar masses, Beta Hydri began its life some 7 billion years ago as a dwarf at the cooler end of class F, around class F9. As it used up its internal hydrogen, it brightened (in part as a result of core contraction and heating) and expanded to the star we see today.

Oct 19, 2024 · Beta Hydri is the brightest star in the Hydrus constellation. It is an evolved G-type star located about 24 light-years from Earth. This star has an apparent magnitude of 2.8, making it visible to the naked eye.

BETA HYDRI is a yellow-orange dwarf which is currently classified as a subgiant. This star is evolving off the main sequence as it begins to fuse increasing amounts of helium ash mixed with hydrogen at its core.
