45 Eridani is a single [7] star located around 700 light years away from the Sun in the equatorial constellation of Eridanus. It is visible to the naked eye as a faint, orange-hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.91. [2] This body is moving away from the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of +15 km/s. [1]
The stellar classification for this star is K0/1 III, [3] which indicates this is an aging K-type giant star that has exhausted the hydrogen supply at its core and expanded. It has reached 50 [1] times the Sun's radius and is radiating 788 [1] times the luminosity of the Sun from its swollen photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,322 K. [1]
