S Crucis is a star in the constellation Crux. A Cepheid variable, its apparent magnitude ranges from 6.22 to 6.92 over 4.68997 d.[2] It is a yellow-white supergiant that pulsates between spectral types F6Ib-II and G1Ib-II.[2]
S Crucis is a pulsating variable star of the δ Cephei type, a Classical Cepheid variable. Its mean radius is 37.9 R☉ and that radius varies by up to 4.1 R☉ during its 4.7-day pulsation cycle.[6] Over the same cycle, the effective temperature varies between 5,517 K and 6,482 K.[4] The star is thought to be 116 million years old; it has exhausted its core hydrogen and left the main sequence.[7]
