Zeta Chamaeleontis, Latinized from ζ Chamaeleontis, is a star located in the constellation Chamaeleon. Located around 570 light-years distant, it shines with a luminosity approximately 522 times that of the Sun and has a surface temperature of 15,655 K. South African Astronomer A.W.J. Cousins noted it to vary between magnitudes 5.06 and 5.17 in 1960.[11] It was classified as a Beta Cephei variable in the Hipparcos and Tycho Catalogues (ESA 1997), with a period of 1.07 days,[12] before being reclassified as a slowly pulsating B star in the 2011 version.[13] It is also an eclipsing binary star, with a period of 2.7 days.[14]
It is a B5V main sequence star with an effective temperature of 15,655 K, an absolute magnitude of −1.15 and a mass of 3.1 solar masses. It is located 175 parsecs (570 light-years) from the Sun.
