p Eridani is a binary star system in the constellation of Eridanus (the River) whose distance from the Sun is 26.7 light-years based upon parallax. It is visible to the naked eye as a dim, orange-hued star, about 1° 5′ from the bright star Achernar.[10] The system is moving further from the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of about +20 km/s.
This system was found to be a double star in December 1825 by James Dunlop in Australia at his home at Paramatta, now spelt Parramatta.[11] It consists of a pair of near identical K-type main-sequence stars with stellar classifications of K2V.[4] Component A has visual magnitude 5.87, while component B is magnitude 5.76.[2] They orbit each other with a period of 394 years, an eccentricity of 0.576, and a semimajor axis of 7.24″.[6]
Naming
[edit]The designation p Eridani was given to this star by Lacaille in his star catalogue Coelum Australe Stelliferum. Historically, it was sometimes also called 6 Eridani, which resembles a Flamsteed designation but actually comes from Bode.[12] Bode numbers were commonly used in the early 19th century, but this antiquated system has now fallen into disuse for more than a century. The Flamsteed designation 6 Eridani refers to a different star.[13]

[edit]Notes
[edit]- ^ Semi-major axis in AU = = 59.3 AU; as the eccentricity is 0.576, the distance fluctuates between 42.4% and 157.6% of that, roughly from 25.1 AU to 93.4 AU.
