Zibal
From Peace Station Encyclopedia
Jump to navigationJump to searchZibal (δ Eri, δ Eridani) is a sub-giant star that is near the end of its hydrogen-burning cycle and is now consuming helium. This has caused the star to expand and become hotter than a comparable main sequence star. As a sub-giant star it is subject to pulsations in its atmosphere.
The star is also called Rana. Radial velocity surveys of this star have thus far failed to discern any gas giants in orbit.
