22 Scorpii

22 Scorpii (i Scorpii) is a single[7] star in the southern zodiac constellation of Scorpius. It is faintly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.78.[2] The distance to this star can be estimated from its annual parallax shift of 7.89±0.24 mas,[1] which yields a value of around 410 light years. The star is embedded in, or adjacent to, a diffuse nebulous cloud.[8]

This article is about i Scorpii. It is not to be confused with ι Scorpii.

This is a B-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of B3 V.[3] It is ten[5] million years old and has a high rate of spin with a projected rotational velocity of 169 km/s.[2] The star has about six[5] times the mass of the Sun and is radiating 335[4] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 19,600 K.[2]
