Phi Fornacis
Star in the constellation Fornax
Phi Fornacis is a single[ 9] star in the southern constellation of Fornax . It has a white hue and is faintly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.13.[ 2] The distance to this object is approximately 154 light-years based on parallax ,[ 1] and it is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +19 km/s.[ 4]
This is an A-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of A2.5V.[ 3] Phi Fornacis is 238[ 5] million years old and is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 117 km/s.[ 7] It has 2.1[ 5] times the mass of the Sun and 1.7[ 6] times the Sun's radius . The star is radiating 17[ 2] times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 9,449 km/s.[ 5] It displays an infrared excess , suggesting a circumstellar disk [ 10] of dust is orbiting the star at a distance of 30.2 AU with a mean temperature of 100 K.[ 6]
