Kappa Reticuli

Kappa Reticuli (κ Reticuli) is a binary star system in the southern constellation of Reticulum. It is visible to the naked eye, having a combined apparent visual magnitude of +4.71. Based upon an annual parallax shift of 46.12 mas as seen from Earth, it is located 71 light years from the Sun. Based upon its space velocity components, this star is a member of the Hyades supercluster of stars that share a common motion through space.
Houk and Cowley (1978) catalogued the yellow-hued primary, component A, with a stellar classification of F3 IV/V, 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, 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. The secondary, component B, is an orange-hued star with a visual magnitude of 10.4 at an angular separation of 54 arc seconds from the primary.
