11 Trianguli is a solitary^[12] star located in the northern constellation Triangulum, with an apparent magnitude of 5.55. The star is situated 281 light years^[1] away but is approaching with a heliocentric radial velocity of −41.614 km/s.^[6] It is probably on the horizontal branch fusing helium in its core,^[3] and is calculated to be about 6.3 Gyr old.^[3] It has a stellar classification of K1 III.^[4][5] It has 2.446 times the mass of the Sun and 12.055 times the radius of the Sun.^[8] It shines at 54.6 times the luminosity of the Sun^[9] from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,572 K.^[10]
