Alpha Volantis

Alpha Volantis (Alpha Vol), Latinized from α Volantis, is a binary star[12] system located in the southern constellation Volans.

It has an apparent visual magnitude of +4.00, which is bright enough to be seen with the naked eye.

Based upon parallax measurements made with the Hipparcos spacecraft, it is located at a distance of 125 light years from the Sun.

As of 2010, the two components of this system had an angular separation of 0.0318″ along a position angle of 286.9°.

[10] In 1992, it was found to be emitting an infrared excess, suggesting the presence of a circumstellar disk of dust.
