Epsilon Phoenicis is a star in the southern constellation of Phoenix.
It is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 3.87.
[2] The distance to this star is approximately 144 light years based on parallax measurements, but it is drifting closer with a heliocentric radial velocity of −9.2 km/s.
It is a red clump star, indicating that it has undergone helium flash and is currently on the core helium-fusing horizontal branch.
[3] Epsilon Phoenicis is radiating 67[6] times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,862 K.[7] Based on the elemental abundance of iron in the stellar atmosphere, the metallicity of Epsilon Phoenicis is similar to that of the Sun.
