HD 16754 is abinary [ 11] or triple-star[ 8] system in theconstellation Eridanus . It has theBayer designation s Eridani ;HD 16754 is the designation from theHenry Draper catalogue . The system is visible to the naked eye as a faint point of light with anapparent visual magnitude of +4.74.[ 2] It is located at a distance of approximately 132 light years from theSun based onparallax ,[ 1] and is drifting further away with aradial velocity of +18 km/s.[ 2] The system is a member of theColumba association of co-moving stars.[ 12]
This object was flagged as anastrometric binary based on proper motion measurements made from theHipparcos spacecraft.[ 13] [ 14] Zuckerman et al. (2011) consider it a multi-star system, with a brightA-type primary plus a faint M-type companion at anangular separation of 25″ to the north. The astrometric companion to the primary remains unresolved.[ 8]
The main component is anA-type main-sequence star with astellar classification of A1 Vb.[ 3] Based upon stellar models, it has an age estimated at 212 million years.[ 7] Consistency with its membership in the Columba association suggests a much younger age of 30 million years.[ 8] Earlier measurements showed a highprojected rotational velocity of 168 km/s.[ 9] However, Ammler-von Eiff and Reiners (2012) found a much lower velocity of 13 km/s.[ 6]
The visible companion is ared dwarf star with a class in the range M2-5V. The system is a source ofX-ray emission with a luminosity of 924× 1020 W , which is most likely coming from this component and the unresolved companion.[ 4]
