Kappa Doradus, Latinized from κ Doradus, is a solitary star[16] located in the southern constellation Dorado. It is faintly visible to the naked eye as a white-hued point of light with an apparent magnitude of 5.28.[2] The object is located relatively close at a distance of 220 light-years based on Gaia DR3 parallax measurements[1] and its distance from the Solar System is not changing, having a somewhat constrained heliocentric radial velocity of 0.00 km/s.[6] At its current distance, Kappa Doradus' brightness is diminished by two-tenths of a magnitude due to interstellar extinction[17] and it has an absolute magnitude of +1.15.[7]

The object has been given many different classes. Houk & Cowley (1975) gave a class of A8/9 III/IV,[18] indicating that it is an evolved A-type star with the characteristics of an A8 and A9 star and the blended luminosity class of a giant star and a subgiant. It has also been given a class of A8 IV and A5 III,[4][19] indicating either a slightly evolved subgiant or an evolved giant star. Kappa Doradus has 1.78 times the mass of the Sun[8] and 2.88 times the radius of the Sun.[9] However, this is only its polar radius, as it has an equatorial bulge 26% greater than its polar radius.[20] It radiates 26.6 times the luminosity of the Sun[10] from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 7,623 K.[11] Kappa Doradus is metal deficient with an iron abundance 66.1% of the Sun's or [Fe/H] = −0.18.[12] Like many hot stars it spins rapidly, having a projected rotational velocity of 230 km/s,[13] which causes the aforementioned oblation.[20]

Kappa Doradus variability was first observed in 1981 by astronomer H. M. Matizen.[21] In the paper, it is used as a comparison star for Alpha Doradus. Matizen found out that Kappa Doradus show Delta Scuti-like amplitudes of 0.03 magnitudes in the visual passband within hours.[3] As of 2004 however, it has not been confirmed to be variable.[22]
