| Sigma Draconis (885 words) |
| Sigma Draconis is located about 18.8 light-years (ly) away from our Sun, Sol, in the northwestern part (19:32:21.59+69:39:40.32, ICRS 2000.0) of Constellation Draco, the Dragon -- south of Tyl (Epsilon Draconis) and north of Altais or Nodus Secundus (Delta Draconis). |
| Sigma Draconis is a main-sequence orange-red dwarf star of spectral and luminosity type K0 V. The star has about 89 percent of Sol's mass (RECONS), 79 percent of its diameter (Pasinetti-Fracassini et al, 2001), and 39 percent of its luminosity. |
| At such a distance to Sigma Draconis, astronomers are hoping to use NASA's TPF and the ESA's Darwin planned groups of observatories to search for a rocky inner planet in the so-called "habitable zone" (HZ) around Sigma Draconis. |
