'''Nu Telescopii''' (ν Telescopii) is a solitary<ref name=Eggleton2008/> [[star]] in the southern [[constellation]] [[Telescopium]].

'''Nu Telescopii''', [[romanization of Greek|Latinized]] from '''ν Telescopii''', is a slightly evolved [[star]] in the southern [[constellation]] [[Telescopium]].

There hasn't been much agreement on Nu Telescopii's [[spectral classification]]. It was initially categorized as [[Am star]], with a classification of kA4mF3IV:<ref name = Hoffleit1953/> . This indicates that the object has the [[calcium K-line]]s of an A4 star and the metallic lines of a F3 [[subgiant]]. However, Nu Telescopii was shown not to have a peculiar spectrum and was given a class of A9 Vn,<ref name = Evans1966/> indicating that it is an [[A-type main-sequence star]] displaying broad (nebulous) [[absorption lines]] due to rapid rotation.

Nu Telescopii, Latinized from ν Telescopii, is a slightly evolved star in the southern constellation Telescopium. It has an apparent visual magnitude of 5.33,[4] allowing it to be faintly visible to the naked eye. The object is relatively close at a distance of 169 light years but is approaching the Solar System with a heliocentric radial velocity of about −12 km/s.[5]

There hasn't been much agreement on Nu Telescopii's spectral classification. It was initially categorized as Am star, with a classification of kA4mF3IV:.[14] This indicates that the object has the calcium K-lines of an A4 star and the metallic lines of a F3 subgiant. However, Nu Telescopii was shown not to have a peculiar spectrum and was given a class of A9 Vn,[15] indicating that it is an A-type main-sequence star displaying broad (nebulous) absorption lines due to rapid rotation. It has since been classified as an evolved A7 star with either a blended luminosity class of a giant star or subgiant (III/IV)[3] or only subgiant (IV).[16]

Nu Telescopii has a mass of 1.85 M☉ and an age of 686 million years.[7] It has 1.94 times the radius of the Sun[8] and has an effective temperature of 8,199 K.[7] These parameters yield a luminosity of 15.6 L☉[9] from its photosphere and when viewed, has a white hue. Nu Telescopii's metallicity – what astronomers dub as elements heavier than helium – is around solar level.[11] Its motion in space matches that of the IC 2391 cluster, making it a probable member.[17]

There is a faint magnitude 9.3 companion star at an angular separation of 102 arc seconds along a position angle of 333°, as of 2010.[18]
