located in the constellation <a href="https://www.constellation-guide.com/constellation-list/canes-venatici-constellation/">Canes Venatici</a>, the Hunting Dogs. With an apparent magnitude of 4.26, it is the second brightest star in the constellation, after <a href="https://www.star-facts.com/cor-caroli/">Cor Caroli</a>. Chara is one of our nearest visible neighbours, located only 27.53 light years from Earth. Together with the brighter <a href="https://www.star-facts.com/cor-caroli/">Cor Caroli</a>, it outlines the southern of the two dogs represented by Canes Venatici.</p><h2 style="text-align: center;">Star type</h2><p>Chara is a yellow dwarf of the spectral type G0 V. Its parameters are similar to the Sun’s. It has a mass of 1.025 solar masses and a radius 1.123 times solar. With a surface temperature of 5,653 K, it shines with 1.151 solar luminosities. The star spins a little faster than the Sun, with a projected rotational velocity of 2.9 km/s. Its estimated age is between 5.3 and 7.1 billion years.</p><p>Chara was once suspected to be a spectroscopic binary, but observations have not confirmed this. The Catalog of Components of Double & Multiple Stars lists two companions: one at a separation of only 0.1 arcseconds and another at 76.2 arcseconds. The latter star has a visual magnitude of 9.0.</p><div id="attachment_4143" style="width: 510px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-4143" class="wp-image-4143" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20500%20275'%3E%3C/svg%3E" alt="chara,beta canum venaticorum" width="500" height="275" data-lazy-src="https://www.star-facts.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Chara.webp" /><noscript><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-4143" class="wp-image-4143" src="https://www.star-facts.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Chara.webp" alt="chara,beta canum venaticorum" width="500" height="275" /></noscript><p id="caption-attachment-4143" class="wp-caption-text">Chara (Beta Canum Venaticorum), image: Wikisky</p></div><h2 style="text-align: center;">Facts</h2><p>Chara is one of the nearest Sun-like stars to the solar system, which makes it an interesting target for planet hunting missions. In 2006, American astronomer and astrobiologist Margaret Turnbull singled the star out as the top candidate to search for Earth-like extraterrestrial life by listening for radio signals from intelligent civilizations. No planets have been detected orbiting the star to date. Other stars on Turnbull’s SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) list were HD 10307, HD 211415, 18 Scorpii, and 51 Pegasi (host to the first extrasolar planet discovered orbiting a main sequence star).</p><p>Chara has been used as a stable anchor point for the Morgan-Keenan system of spectral classification since 1943. The MK system is used to classify stars based on the appearance of their spectra. Chara is a spectral standard for its class (G0 V).</p><h2 style="text-align: center;">Name</h2><p>The name Chara (pronunciation: /ˈkɛərə/) is Greek for “joy.” It originally applied to the southern of the two dogs represented by <a href="https://www.constellation-guide.com/constellation-list/canes-venatici-constellation/">Canes Venatici</a>, but later came to be used for the constellation’s second brightest star. Canes Venatici represents the two hunting dogs held by <a href="https://www.constellation-guide.com/constellation-list/bootes-constellation/">Boötes</a>, the Herdsman, as he pursues the <a href="https://www.constellation-guide.com/constellation-list/ursa-major-constellation/">Great Bear</a> around the pole.</p><p>The name Chara was approved by the International Astronomical Union’s (IAU) Working Group on Star Names (WGSN) on July 20, 2016.</p><p>Beta Canum Venaticorum was also historically known as Asterion (“starry”). Asterion is the name of the northern dog of <a href="https://www.constellation-guide.com/constellation-list/canes-venatici-constellation/">Canes Venatici</a>.</p><div id="attachment_3064" style="width: 580px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-3064" class="wp-image-3064" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20570%20400'%3E%3C/svg%3E" alt="canes venatici" width="570" height="400" data-lazy-src="https://www.star-facts.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Hunting-Dogs.webp" /><noscript><img decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-3064" class="wp-image-3064" src="https://www.star-facts.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Hunting-Dogs.webp" alt="canes venatici" width="570" height="400" /></noscript><p id="caption-attachment-3064" class="wp-caption-text">“Boötes, Canes Venatici, Coma Berenices, and Quadrans Muralis”, plate 10 in <em>Urania’s Mirror</em>, a set of celestial cards accompanied by <em>A familiar treatise on astronomy</em>… by Jehoshaphat Aspin</p></div><p>In Chinese astronomy, Chara is known as 常陳四 (<em>Cháng Chén sì</em>), the Fourth Star of Imperial Guards. The Chinese Imperial Guards asterism is formed by Chara with <a href="https://www.star-facts.com/cor-caroli/">Cor Caroli</a>, 10 Canum Venaticorum, 9 Canum Venaticorum, 6 Canum Venaticorum, 2 Canum Venaticorum, and 67 Ursae Majoris. The asterism is part of the Supreme Palace Enclosure, which represents the imperial court.</p><h2 style="text-align: center;">Location</h2><p>Chara is relatively easy to find but, with an apparent magnitude of 4.26, it cannot be seen from heavily light-polluted areas. <a href="https://www.star-facts.com/cor-caroli/">Cor Caroli</a> and Chara lie directly below the handle of the <a href="https://www.constellation-guide.com/big-dipper/">Big Dipper</a>. The imaginary line connecting the two stars is roughly parallel to the line connecting <a href="https://www.star-facts.com/alkaid/">Alkaid</a> and <a href="https://www.star-facts.com/mizar/">Mizar</a>, the stars at the end of the Dipper’s handle.
