Phi Octantis, Latinized from φ Octantis, is a solitary[11] star in the southern circumpolar constellation Octans. It has an apparent magnitude of 5.46,[2] making it faintly visible to the naked eye if viewed under ideal conditions. The star is relatively close at a distance of 194 light years[1] but is receding from the Sun with a heliocentric radial velocity of 5 km/s.[5]
Phi Octantis has a stellar classification of A0 V,[3] making it an ordinary A-type main-sequence star. At present it has 2.7 times the mass of the Sun[7] and 1.74 times the radius of the Sun.[8] It radiates at 19.31 L☉[9] from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 9,120 Kelvin,[8] giving it a white glow. The star is young at an age of 271 million years and spins rapidly with a projected rotational velocity of 253 km/s.[7]
