μ Phoenicis, Latinized as Mu Phoenicis, is a suspected astrometric binary [10] star system in the southern constellation of Phoenix. It is visible to the naked eye as a faint, yellow-hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.59. [2] This system is located approximately 246 light years distant from the Sun based on parallax, [1] and is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +17.4 km/s. [4]
The visible component is an aging G-type giant star with a stellar classification of G8III. [3] Having exhausted the supply of hydrogen at its core, this star cooled and expanded off the main sequence. At present it has 13 [4] times the girth of the Sun. It is 1.4 [6] billion years old with 2.5 [6] times the mass of the Sun. It is radiating 97 [4] times the luminosity of the Sun from its swollen photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,900 K. [7]
