Star in the constellation Hydra
One possible non-radial oscillation mode of Xi Hydrae
Xi Hydrae , Latinised from ξ Hydrae, is a solitary[ 9] star in the equatorial constellation of Hydra . It was also given the Flamsteed designation 19 Crateris . This magnitude 3.54[ 2] star is situated 130 light-years from Earth and has a radius about 10 times that of the Sun . It is radiating 58 times as much luminosity as the Sun .[ 6]
Flamsteed gave Xi Hydrae the designation 19 Crateris. He included a number of stars now within the IAU boundaries of Hydra as part of a Hydra & Crater constellation overlapping parts of both modern constellations .[ 10]
The star Xi Hydrae is particularly interesting in the field of asteroseismology since it shows solar-like oscillations . Multiple frequency oscillations are found with periods between 2.0 and 5.5 hours.[ 11]
Xi Hydrae has left the main sequence , having exhausted the supply of hydrogen in its core. Its spectrum is that of a red giant . Modelling its physical properties against theoretical evolutionary tracks shows that it has just reached the foot of the red giant branch for a star with an initial mass around 3 M ☉ . This puts its age at about 510 myr .[ 12]
