Pi1 Doradus, Latinized from π1 Doradus, is a solitary star[15] located in the southern constellation Dorado near the southwestern border with Mensa. It is faintly visible to the naked eye as an orange-hued point of light with an apparent magnitude of 5.54.[2] Gaia DR3 parallax measurements imply a distance of 660 light-years[1] and it is currently receding with a heliocentric radial velocity of 15.7 km/s.[5] At its current distance, Pi1 Doradus' brightness is diminished by 0.24 magnitudes due to interstellar extinction[16] and it has an absolute magnitude of −0.83.[6]
Pi1 Doradus has a stellar classification of K5 III,[3] indicating that it is an evolved K-type giant star. It has 1.67 times the mass of the Sun but at the age of 2.67 billion years,[7] it has expanded to 56.5 times the radius of the Sun.[8] It radiates 530 times the luminosity of the Sun[9] from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature 4,019 K[11] Gaia DR3 stellar evolution models give a larger radius of 63.2 R☉ and a higher luminosity of 938 L☉.[1] Pi1 Doradus is metal enriched with an iron abundance of [Fe/H] = +0.10 or 126% that of the Sun's.[10] Like many giant stars it spins slowly—having a projected rotational velocity of 1.8 km/s.[12]
