Sigma Ceti (σ Ceti) is the Bayer designation for a star in the equatorial constellation of Cetus. With an apparent visual magnitude of 4.78,[2] it can be seen with the naked eye on a dark night. Based upon an annual parallax shift of 37.46 mas,[1] it lies at an estimated distance of 87.1 light years from the Sun. It is a probable astrometric binary star system.[11]
The primary, component A, appears to be a normal F-type main sequence star with a stellar classification of F5 V.[3] However, Malaroda (1975) assigned it a classification of F4 IV,[4] which would suggest it is a more evolved subgiant star. It is estimated to have 121%[6] of the Sun's mass and around 150% of the radius of the Sun.[7] With an age of about 2.1[6] billion years, it is radiating 7.6[8] times the solar luminosity from its outer atmosphere at an effective temperature of 6,527 K.[9]
Name
This star, along with π Cet, ε Cet and ρ Cet, was Al Sufi's Al Sadr al Ḳaiṭos, the Whale's Breast [12]
According to the catalogue of stars in the Technical Memorandum 33-507 - A Reduced Star Catalog Containing 537 Named Stars, Al Sadr al Ḳaiṭos were the title for four stars :ρ Cet as Al Sadr al Ḳaiṭos I, this star (σ Cet) as Al Sadr al Ḳaiṭos II, ε Cet as Al Sadr al Ḳaiṭos III and π Cet as Al Sadr al Ḳaiṭos IV[13]
