Iota Hydrae (ι Hydrae, abbreviated Iota Hya, ι Hya), formally named Ukdah /ˈʌkdə/,[7] is a star in the constellation of Hydra, about 8° to the north-northwest of Alphard (Alpha Hydrae)[8] and just to the south of the celestial equator.[9] Visible to the naked eye, it is a suspected variable star with an apparent visual magnitude that ranges between 3.87 and 3.91.[3] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 12.39 mas measured during the Hipparcos mission,[1] it is located around 263 light-years from the Sun.
