Iota Virginis (ι Vir, ι Virginis) is a star in the constellation Virgo. It has the traditional name Syrma.[citation needed]
Syrma is a yellow star of apparent magnitude 4.08 and spectral class F6 III about 70 light years from Earth. This star has 1.52 times the mass of the Sun,[3] with a projected rotational velocity of 14.8 km s–1.[2] It is radiating 8.6 times the luminosity of the Sun from its outer atmosphere at an effective temperature of 6,282 K.[1] The radius is about 2.5 times that of the Sun.[4]
[edit] In culture
The name Syrma is from the Arabic (سرما (تطريز sirmā "train" (of a garment).
USS Syrma (AK-134) was a United States Navy Crater class cargo ship named after the star.
