}}{{Starbox end}}Eta Centauri, Latinized from η Centauri, is a star in the southern constellation of Centaurus. It has an apparent visual magnitude of +2.35[3] and is located at a distance of around {{Convert|306|ly|pc|abbr=off|lk=on}}. In traditional Chinese astronomy, Eta Centauri was known as {{lang|zh|庫樓二}}[3] (meaning: the Second (Star) of Koo Low).[25]

The stellar classification of this star is B1.5 Vne,[5] indicating that it is a B-type main sequence star. The 'n' suffix means that the absorption lines are broadened from rapid rotation. It has a projected rotational velocity of 330 km s−1[5] and completes a full rotation in less than a day. This is a Be star as shown by the 'e' suffix,[28] which means it has variable emissions in its hydrogen spectral lines. This emission can be modeled by a decretion disk of gas that has been ejected from the star and now follows a near Keplerian orbit around the central body.[29] Finally it is slightly variable, and classified as a Gamma Cassiopeiae variable star with multiple periods of variability.[1] The International Variable Star Index lists Eta Centauri as both a Gamma Cassiopeiae variable and a Lambda Eridani variable.[4]

Eta Centauri has about 12[14] times the mass of the Sun, placing it above the dividing line between stars that evolve into white dwarfs and those that turn into supernovae. It is radiating 8,700[5] times as much luminosity as the Sun from its outer atmosphere at an effective temperature of 25,700 K.[5] This heat causes the star to glow with the blue-white hue common to B-type stars.[35] Eta Centauri is a proper motion member of the Upper-Centaurus Lupus sub-group in the Scorpius-Centaurus OB association, the nearest such co-moving association of massive stars to the Sun.[18]
