Zeta1 Antliae is the Bayer designation for a binary star[3] system in the southern constellation of Antlia. Based upon parallax measurements, the pair are located at a distance of roughly 350 light-years (110 parsecs) from Earth.[1] They have apparent magnitudes of +6.20 and +7.01 and are separated by 8.042 arcseconds.[3] The apparent magnitude of the combined system is +5.76,[2] which is bright enough to be seen with the naked eye in suitably dark skies.

ζ1 Ant B

The two system components A and B are both A-type main sequence stars,[3] hotter, larger, and more luminous than the Sun. The primary is spinning rapidly and the secondary relatively slowly.[7] The primary has a mass of 2.46 M, an effective temperature of 9,641 K, a radius of 2.26 R, and a bolometric luminosity of 39.8 L. The secondary has a mass of 2.23 M, an effective temperature of 8,872 K, a radius of 1.74 R, and a bolometric luminosity of 16.9 L.[6]
