Star in the constellation Orion
49 Orionis is a single[ 10] star in theequatorial constellation ofOrion . It has theBayer designation d Orionis , while49 Orionis is theFlamsteed designation . This object is visible to the naked eye as a faint, white-hued star with anapparent visual magnitude of 4.80.[ 2] It is located 141 light years away from the Sun based onparallax ,[ 1] but is drifting closer with aradial velocity of −5 km/s.[ 4]
49 Orionis (center) In the past 49 Orionis was reported as aspectroscopic binary and an orbit was computed with aperiod of 445.74 days and aneccentricity of 0.549.[ 11] But it was later determined to be single.[ 10]
This object is anA-type main-sequence star with astellar classification of A4Vn,[ 3] where the 'n' suffix indicates broadened "nebulous"lines caused by rapid rotation. It is around 284[ 6] million years old with aprojected rotational velocity of 186 km/s.[ 8] This spin is giving the star anoblate shape with anequatorial bulge that is an estimated 8% larger than the polar radius.[ 12] The star has 1.8[ 6] times themass of the Sun and double[ 7] theSun's radius . It is radiating 22[ 8] times theSun's luminosity from itsphotosphere at aneffective temperature of 8,416 K.[ 6]
