Kappa Indi (Latinized κ Ind) is the Bayer designation for a star located in the southern constellation Indus. As a Bayer‑named star, it is catalogued in multiple astronomical reference works (e.g., the Henry Draper Catalogue and the Hipparcos catalogue).
The star is visible to the naked eye under good dark‑sky conditions, having an apparent visual magnitude near the limit of unaided human perception. It lies in the region of the sky that defines the borders of Indus and follows the standard naming convention whereby the Greek letter “kappa” is assigned sequentially within the constellation.
More detailed astrophysical parameters—such as the exact apparent magnitude, spectral classification, parallax‑derived distance, and any multiplicity status—are recorded in specialized astronomical databases (e.g., SIMBAD, VizieR). As of this summary, precise quantitative values are not presented due to insufficient encyclopedic information in publicly available general‑reference sources.
