Nu1 Columbae is a star in the southern constellation of Columba. Its name is a Bayer designation that is Latinized from ν1 Columbae, and abbreviated Nu1 Col or ν1 Col. This star is visible to the naked eye, having an apparent visual magnitude of 6.14.[3] According to the Bortle scale, stars with this magnitude are faintly visible from dark rural skies. Based upon an annual parallax shift of 23.08 mas,[2] this star is about 128 light years distant from the Sun.
This star has a stellar classification of F0 IV,[9] suggesting it is an evolving F-type subgiant star. However, models indicate that it is a main sequence star with an estimated age of 641 million years and a mass 1.41 times that of the Sun.[7] The star is spinning relatively rapidly, with a projected rotational velocity of 161 km/s.[9] It is radiating around 5.4 times the solar luminosity[8] from its outer atmosphere at an effective temperature of 7,079 K.[7]
There is a faint star 2.6″ away with a similar parallax,[11] but it is not mentioned in any of the standard catalogues of multiple stars.
