AK Pictoris is a star system in the constellation Pictor. Its combined apparent magnitude is 6.182.[2] Based on the system's parallax, it is located 69 light-years (21.3 parsecs) away.[1] AK Pictoris is a member of the AB Doradus moving group,[9] a group of stars with similar motions that are thought to be associated.
AK Pictoris is a binary star. Its two stars orbit each other every 217.6 years, separated by 2.004″.[3] The primary star is a G-type star[4] with similar properties to the Sun. The secondary star is a K-type star.[4] The primary star is a young BY Draconis variable,[6] a class of variable stars that derive their variability from stellar rotation. It is also known to host a debris disk, inferred from its infrared excess.[9]
