Lambda Draconis

Lambda Draconis (λ Draconis, abbreviated Lam Dra, λ Dra), also named Giausar ( ), is a solitary, orange-red star in the northern circumpolar constellation of Draco. It is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of around +3.8. Based upon an annual parallax shift of 9.79 mas as seen from the Earth, the star is located around 333 light years from the Sun. for Lambda Draconis, potted from MASCARA data This is an evolved red giant star on the asymptotic giant branch with a stellar classification of M0III-IIIa Ca1. It is a suspected slow irregular variable with a periodicity of roughly 1,100 days. It has an estimated 1.53 times the mass of the Sun and a measured radius of 70 times the radius of the Sun. It is radiating 884 times the solar luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 3,761 K.
