λ Pavonis, Latinized as Lambda Pavonis, is a single,[13]variable star in the southern constellation of Pavo. It is a blue-white hued star that is faintly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude that fluctuates around 4.22.[2] This object is located approximately 1,400light years from the Sun, based upon parallax. It is a member of the Scorpius–Centaurus association.[14]

This is a massive Be star, a rapidly rotating hot blue star which has developed a gas disk around it. It is a γ Cassiopeiae variable or shell star which has occasionally brightened to magnitude 4.0.[3] The stellar classification of B2Ve[4] suggests it is a B-type main-sequence star that is generating energy through core hydrogen fusion. This star is spinning rapidly with a projected rotational velocity of 190km/s.[11] This is giving the star an oblate shape with an equatorial bulge that is an estimated 10% larger than the polar radius.[16] Lambda Pavonis has 12.5[8] times the mass of the Sun and nine times the Sun's polar radius.[9] It is radiating 8,450[2] times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 20,300K.[10]
Variations in signals coming from Lambda Pavonis have led to a debate on whether it is a binary, single or pulsating variable star.[14]
