Upsilon1 Eridani (υ1 Eri) is a singlestar in theconstellationEridanus. It has anapparent visual magnitude is 4.51,[2] which is bright enough to be faintly visible to the naked eye on a clear, dark night. The distance to this star, as determined using theparallax method,[1] is around 127 light years.
This is anevolvedred clump[3]giant star with astellar classification of K0III-IV.[4] The measuredangular diameter, after correction forlimb darkening, is1.74±0.02 mas.[9] At an estimated distance of this star, this yields a physical size of about 7.3 times theradius of the Sun.[6] It has 154%[5] of theSun's mass and radiates 24 times thesolar luminosity from itsouter atmosphere at aneffective temperature of 4,941 K.[5]
