Mu1 Chamaeleontis is a single[12] star in the southern circumpolar constellation of Chamaeleon. Its name is a Bayer designation that is Latinized from μ1 Chamaeleontis, and abbreviated Mu1 Cha or μ1 Cha. This star is dimly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.53.[2] Based upon parallax measurements, it is located approximately 403 light-years (124 pc) away from the Sun.[1] The radial velocity is poorly constrained, but it appears to be drifting further away at the rate of about 16 km/s[5]
This object has a stellar classification of A0 IV,[3] matching an A-type subgiant star. It has 2.6 times the mass of the Sun[6] and an effective temperature of 10,141 K,[9] giving a bluish white glow. Due to its slightly enlarged radius,[7] the star has a luminosity over 90 times that of the Sun.[8] It is spinning rapidly with a projected rotational velocity of 150 km/s.[10] Mu1 Chamaeleontis' metallicity – elements more massive than helium – is 66% that of the Sun.[6]
