Phi2 Orionis is astar in theconstellationOrion, where it forms a small triangle on thecelestial sphere with the nearbyMeissa andPhi1 Orionis.[8] This star is visible to the naked eye with anapparent visual magnitude of 4.081.[2] Based upon an annualparallax shift of 28.67 mas,[6] it is located around 114 light-years from theSun.
This is an evolvedG-type star ofstellar classification G8 III-IV,[3] which means that it is in anevolutionary stage between asubgiant (IV) and agiant star (III). It is estimated to be 6.9 billion years old, has 1.07 times themass of the Sun,[5] but has expanded to 8 times theSun's radius. The star shines with 30 times thesolar luminosity from itsouter atmosphere at aneffective temperature of4,700 K.[6]
