14 Eridani
Star in the constellation Eridanus
14 Eridani is a star in the equatorial Eridanus constellation . It has an apparent visual magnitude of 6.143[ 2] and is moving closer to the Sun with a radial velocity of around −5 km/s.[ 4] The measured annual parallax shift is 29.26 mas ,[ 1] which provides an estimated distance of about 121 light years . Proper motion studies indicate that this is an astrometric binary .[ 9] [ 10]
The visible component has a stellar classification of F5 V Fe−0.7 CH−0.5 ,[ 3] which indicates it has the spectrum of an F-type main-sequence star with mild underabundances of iron and methylidyne . It is 1.4[ 6] billion years old with 1.3[ 6] times the mass of the Sun and 1.5[ 1] times the Sun's radius . The star is radiating 3.87[ 1] times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 6,719 K.[ 6] The system has been detected as a source of X-ray emission .[ 11]
