1 Scorpii,orb Scorpii,is a single[9]starin the southernzodiacconstellationofScorpius.It has anapparent magnitudeof 4.63,[2]which is bright enough to be faintly visible to the naked eye on a dark night. The star shows an annualparallax shiftof 6.59masfrom Earth's orbit, which equates to a distance of roughly 490light years.It is a probable (89% chance) member of theSco OB2moving group.[10][9]

This is aB-type main-sequence starwith astellar classificationof B1.5 Vn,[3]where the 'n' suffix indicates "nebulous"absorption linesbeing induced by rapid rotation. It has aprojected rotational velocityof 310 km/s, which is giving the star anoblate shapewith anequatorial bulgethat is 13% wider than the polar radius.[7]There is some weak evidence that this is aBe starwith a gaseous disk that is being viewed edge-on.[11]

1 Scorpii is a young star at around 10[5]million years old, with 8.3[5]times themass of the Sunand 3.7 times theSun's radius.[6]The star is radiating 3,890 times theSun's luminosityfrom itsphotosphereat aneffective temperatureof about 24,000 K.[6]
