Indus is a constellation in the southern sky first professionally surveyed by Europeans in the 1590s and mapped on a globe by Petrus Plancius by early 1598. It was included on a plate illustrating southern constellations in Bayer 's sky atlas Uranometria in 1603.
Epsilon Indi, Latinized from ε Indi, is a star system located at a distance of approximately 12 light-years from Earth in the southern constellation of Indus.The star has an orange hue and is faintly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.674. [2]
Kim 2, also known as Indus I, [2] is a distant globular cluster in the constellation of Indus.It was discovered by Dongwon Kim of the Stromlo Milky Way Satellite Survey run by the Australian National University using the SkyMapper telescope images.
Alpha Indi (α Ind, α Indi) is the brightest star in the southern constellation Indus. Parallax measurements imply that it is located about 100 light years from Earth. [1] It has an apparent visual magnitude of 3.22, [2] being readily visible to the naked eye, and has an absolute magnitude of +0.78. [4]
ρ Indi, Latinised as Rho Indi (also HR 8701 or HD 216437), is a yellow-hued star in the constellation Indus. With an apparent visual magnitude of +6.05 [2] it is, barely, a naked eye star, not visible in the northern hemisphere outside the tropics. Based upon an annual parallax shift of 37.46 mas, it is located 87 light-years (27 parsecs) from ...
Its radial vector to our system's own trajectory (radial velocity) shows it to be in a phase of a narrowing of the gap, at a rounded −2 km/s, net. [ 4 ] η Indi appears to be a member of the Octans association , a group of 62 stars that are around 30−50 million years old and have common motion.
NGC 7049 is a lenticular galaxy [1] that spans about 150,000 light-years and lies about 100 million light-years away from Earth [2] in the inconspicuous southern constellation of Indus. NGC 7049's unusual appearance is largely due to a prominent rope-like dust ring which stands out against the starlight behind it.
Theta Indi (θ Ind) is a binary star in the constellation Indus.Its apparent magnitude is 4.40 [2] and it is approximately 98.8 light years away based on parallax. [1] The smaller companion, B, has a spectral type of G0V (yellow main-sequence) and an apparent magnitude of 7.18 at a separation of 6.71″. [9]
