Star system in the constellation Reticulum
Kappa Reticuli (κ Reticuli ) is a binary star [ 3] system in the southern constellation of Reticulum . It is visible to the naked eye, having a combined apparent visual magnitude of +4.71.[ 2] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 45.91 mas as seen from Earth,[ 1] it is located at a distance of 71 light-years . Based upon its space velocity components, this star is a member of the Hyades supercluster of stars that share a common motion through space.[ 11]
Houk and Cowley (1978) catalogued the yellow-hued[ 12] primary, component A, with a stellar classification of F3 IV/V,[ 5] indicating this is an F-type star that showing mixed traits of a main-sequence and a more evolved subgiant star. Later, Grey et al. (2006) listed a class of F3 V,[ 4] suggesting it is an F-type main-sequence star . It is emitting a statistically significant amount of infrared excess , suggesting the presence of an orbiting debris disk .[ 13] The secondary, component B, is an orange-hued[ 12] star with a visual magnitude of 10.4 at an angular separation of 54 arcseconds from the primary.[ 3]
