Gamma Ceti
Gamma Ceti (γ Cet, γ Ceti) is a star system in the equatorial constellation Cetus. It has the traditional name Kaffaljidhma and has an apparent visual magnitude of 3.47.〔 Based upon parallax measurements, this star is located at a distance of about 80 light years (24.4 parsecs) from Earth.〔
==Properties==
Gamma Ceti appears to be a triple star system. The inner pair have an angular separation of 2.6 arcseconds. The primary component of this pair is a visual magnitude 3.6, A-type main sequence star with a stellar classification of A3 V. The fainter secondary component is an F-type main sequence star that has a classification of F3 V and a magnitude of 6.6.〔 The contrasting colors of these two stars makes them a popular target of amateur astronomers. The two can be resolved with a small, aperture telescope under ideal seeing conditions, although at times they are can be a challenge to resolve even with a much larger scope.〔 At a wide separation of 840 arcseconds is a dim, magnitude 10.2 K-type star with a classification of K5. The luminosity class of this last component remains undetermined.〔
The measured angular diameter of the primary star is .〔 At the estimated distance of this system, this yields a physical size of about 1.9 times the radius of the Sun.〔 The secondary component of this system is an X-ray source with a luminosity of .〔 Gamma Ceti is about 300〔 million years old and it appears to be a member of the stream of stars loosely associated with the Ursa Major moving group.〔 The primary has been examined for an excess of infrared emission that would suggest the presence of circumstellar matter, but none was found.〔
