Iot-1

Its story

Iota-1 Cygni is a blue-white A1 star in the Swan, about 351 light-years away. It carries 2.6 solar masses and radiates 74 times the Sun's energy from a surface between 7,500 and 10,000 K. At 400 million years old, its equator spins at 52 km per second — moderate for a star of its class. It sits near the neck of the swan, in one of the densest stretches of the summer Milky Way.
