CL Draconis

CL Draconis is a single[10] star in the northern circumpolar constellation of Draco. It can be viewed with the naked eye, having an apparent visual magnitude of 4.96.[2] The distance to this star, as determined from its annual parallax shift of 29.9 mas,[1] is 109 light years. It is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of −11 km/s.[5] The star has a relatively high proper motion, traversing the celestial sphere at the rate of 0.185″/yr.[11]

Based upon a stellar classification of F0 IV,[3] this is an aging F-type subgiant star that has consumed the hydrogen at its core. It is spinning rapidly with a projected rotational velocity of 165 km/s,[6] giving it an oblate shape with an equatorial bulge that is estimated to be 8% larger than the polar radius.[12] CL Dra is a Delta Scuti variable, changing brightness with an amplitude of 0.010 magnitude over a period of 1.83 hours.[13] CL Dra has 1.68[6] times the mass of the Sun and is radiating 10.2[6] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 7,439 K.[7]
