Phi3 Ceti
Star in the constellation Cetus
Phi3 Ceti is a solitary,[ 8] orange-hued star in the equatorial constellation of Cetus . It is faintly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.31.[ 2] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 6.11 mas as seen from Earth,[ 1] it is located approximately 530 light years from the Sun , give or take 20 light years. The star is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −25.5 km/s.[ 1]
This is an evolved K-type giant star with a stellar classification of K5 III.[ 3] It has about 1.4[ 5] times the mass and 44[ 1] times the radius of the Sun. The star radiates 441 times the solar luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 3,974 K.[ 1]
