Delta Sculptoris (δ Scl, δ Sculptoris) is a triple star system in the constellation Sculptor. It is approximately 137.4 light years from Earth.

The primary component, Delta Sculptoris A, is a white A-type main-sequence and Lambda Boötis star with an apparent magnitude of +4.59. It has a faint, magnitude 11.6 companion, Delta Sculptoris B, 4 arcseconds, or more than 175 astronomical units, away from it. Orbiting this pair at the much greater separation of 74 arcseconds, is the G-type Delta Sculptoris C, which has an apparent magnitude of +9.4.

This system is a candidate member of the AB Doradus moving group, an association of stars with similar ages that share a common heading through space.

Notes

↑ Calculated, using the Stefan-Boltzmann law and the star's effective temperature and luminosity, with respect to the solar nominal effective temperature of 5,772 K: $\sqrt{(\frac{5, 772}{9, 930})^{4} \cdot 30.09} = 1.85 R_{⊙} .$
