Upsilon4 Eridani is a close binary star system in the constellation Eridanus. It is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 3.56.[2] Based upon parallax measurements, the pair are located around 54.6 parsecs (178 ly) from the Sun.[1]
This is a double-lined spectroscopic binary star system,[10] which means that the Doppler-shifted spectral lines of both components can be distinguished. The pair have a circular orbit with a period of five days. The system is composed of two B-type main-sequence stars: one has a stellar classification of B8V and the other B9.5V.[3] Both stars show HgMn peculiarities in their spectrum,[7] and their properties are nearly identical.[6] The spin rate of the two stars is synchronized to their orbital period.[6] It is possible that a nearby K-type star is also related.[3]
