Epsilon Piscis Austrini, Latinized from ε Piscis Austrini, is a blue-white hued star in the southern constellation of Piscis Austrinus. It is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of +4.17. [2] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 8.0981 ± 0.3582 mas as seen from the GAIA satellite, the system is located roughly 400 light years from the Sun. [6]
This is a B-type main sequence star with a stellar classification of B8 Ve. [3] It is a Be star that is spinning rapidly with a projected rotational velocity of 216 km/s, [7] compared to an equatorial critical velocity of 301 km/s. [9] The star has 4.1 times the mass of the Sun and is radiating 661 times the solar luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 11,066 K. [7]
Epsilon Piscis Austrini is moving through the Galaxy at a speed of 18.7 km/s relative to the Sun. Its projected Galactic orbit carries it between 23,917 and 28,138 light-years from the center of the Galaxy. [11]
Naming
In Chinese, 羽林軍 (Yǔ Lín Jūn), meaning Palace Guard, refers to an asterism consisting of:
- ε Piscis Austrini
- 29 Aquarii
- 35 Aquarii
- 41 Aquarii
- 47 Aquarii
- 49 Aquarii
- λ Piscis Austrini
- HD 212448
- 21 Piscis Austrini
- 20 Piscis Austrini
- υ Aquarii
- 68 Aquarii
- 66 Aquarii
- 61 Aquarii
- 53 Aquarii
- 50 Aquarii
- 56 Aquarii
- 45 Aquarii
- 58 Aquarii
- 64 Aquarii
- 65 Aquarii
- 70 Aquarii
- 74 Aquarii
- τ2 Aquarii
- τ1 Aquarii
- δ Aquarii
- 77 Aquarii
- 88 Aquarii

- 86 Aquarii
- 101 Aquarii
- 100 Aquarii
- 99 Aquarii
- 98 Aquarii
- 97 Aquarii

- ψ3Aquarii
- ψ2Aquarii
- ψ1Aquarii
- 87 Aquarii
- 85 Aquarii
- 83 Aquarii
- χ Aquarii
- ω1 Aquarii
- ω2 Aquarii
Consequently, the Chinese name for ε Piscis Austrini itself is 羽林軍八 (Yǔ Lín Jūn bā, English: the Eighth Sixth Star of Palace Guard.) [12]
