Epsilon Telescopii, Latinized from ε Telescopii, is a solitary,[10] orange-hued star in the southern constellation of Telescopium. It is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of +4.53.[4] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 7.80 mas as seen from Earth,[1] it is located roughly 410 light years from the Sun, give or take 20 light years.
This an evolved K-type giant with a stellar classification of K0 III.[3] It displays an infrared excess, suggesting the presence of an orbiting disk of dust.[11] The star is radiating 293[7] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,996 K.[8] It has a 13th magnitude optical companion at an angular separation of 16.30 arcseconds along a position angle of 233°, as of 2000.[12]
