Iota Ceti (ι Cet, ι Ceti) is the Bayer designation for a star system in the equatorial constellation of Cetus. It has the traditional name Deneb Kaitos Shemali.[9] The name was from the Arabic word ذنب قيطس الشمالي - dhanab qayṭas al-shamālī, meaning the northern tail of the sea monster. it is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 3.562.[2] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 11.88 mas,[1] it lies around 275 light years from the Sun.
In Chinese, 天倉 (Tiān Cāng), meaning Square Celestial Granary, refers to an asterism consisting of ι Ceti, η Ceti, θ Ceti, ζ Ceti, τ Ceti and 57 Ceti.[10] Consequently, the Chinese name for ι Ceti itself is 天倉一 (Tiān Cāng yī, English: the First Star of Square Celestial Granary.)[11]
This is an MK-standard star with a stellar classification of K1.5 III,[12] indicating that it is an evolved K-type giant star. However, Houk and Swift (1999) list a classification of K1 II,[4] which would indicate this is a bright giant. It is a suspected variable with a visual amplitude of around 0.05 magnitude.[5] The star has about 2.8[3] times the mass of the Sun, 34 times the Sun's radius, and radiates 398 times the solar luminosity from its outer atmosphere at an effective temperature of 4,446 K.[6]
Iota Ceti forms a wide astrometric pair with a common proper motion companion,[13] a magnitude 10.40 star at an angular separation of 106.4 arcseconds along a position angle of 191° (as of 2014).[14] This companion may be a K-type star.[4]
