Star in the constellation Hydra
Phi2 Hydrae ,Latinized fromφ2 Hydrae , is astar in theconstellation Hydra . It originally received theFlamsteed designation of1 Crateris before being placed in the Hydra constellation.[ 10] Based upon an annualparallax shift of 4.31 mas as seen from Earth, it is located roughly 760 light years from theSun . The star is faintly visible to thenaked eye with anapparent visual magnitude of 6.09.[ 3] It forms a triangle with the fainterφ1 Hydrae and the brighterφ3 Hydrae , betweenμ Hydrae andν Hydrae .

This is anevolved red giant star with astellar classification of M1 III.[ 11] It is currently on theasymptotic giant branch ,[ 11] and is asemiregular variable that undergoes changes in luminosity according to three pulsation periods.[ 6] The star is radiating an estimated 703[ 8] times theSun's luminosity from itsphotosphere at aneffective temperature of 3,791 K.[ 8]
Phi2 Hydrae has a faint visual companion: a magnitude 12.20 star at anangular separation of 3.50 arc seconds along aposition angle of 280°, as of 1959.[ 12]
