Beta Phoenicis (β Phoenicis, β Phe) is a binary star in the constellation Phoenix. Its apparent magnitude is 3.30, [2] meaning that it can be seen with the naked eye (see Bortle scale).
The distance to Beta Phoenicis is poorly known. The original reduction of the Hipparcos satellite's data yielded a parallax value of 16 milliarcseconds, yet its standard error was larger than the parallax value itself. [9] The new reduction of the Hipparcos data gave 0.12 ± 14.62 milliarcseconds, still unusable. [1] The General Catalogue of Trigonometric Parallaxes, an older catalogue of ground-based parallaxes, lists the parallax as 20 ± 16 milliarcseconds, corresponding to about 200 light-years (61 pc). [10] Kervella et al. (2019) give a parallax of 6.177±1.509 mas based on Gaia DR2 data, which gives a distance of 162 parsecs (530 ly) for this star. [5]
Beta Phoenicis is a relatively wide visual binary consisting of two G-type giant stars, both with spectral types of G8III. [4] The two orbit each other every 170.7 years and have a relatively eccentric orbit. The stars are separated by almost one arcsecond. [7]
