Star system in the constellation Reticulum
Kappa Reticuli (κ Reticuli ) is a
binary star
[3] system in the
southern
constellation of
Reticulum . It is visible to the naked eye, having a combined
apparent visual magnitude of +4.71.
[2] Based upon an annual
parallax shift of 46.12
mas as seen from Earth,
[1] it is located 71
light-years from the
Sun . Based upon its
space velocity components, this star is a member of the
Hyades supercluster of stars that share a common motion through space.
[14]
Houk and Cowley (1978) catalogued the yellow-hued
[15] primary, component A, with a
stellar classification of F3 IV/V,
[5] indicating this is an
F-type star that showing mixed traits of a
main-sequence and a more
evolved
subgiant star. Later, Grey et al. (2006) listed a class of F3 V,
[4] suggesting it is an
F-type main-sequence star . It is emitting a
statistically significant amount of
infrared excess , suggesting the presence of an orbiting
debris disk .
[16] The secondary, component B, is an orange-hued
[15] star with a visual magnitude of 10.4 at an
angular separation of 54
arcseconds from the primary.
