κ Phoenicis, Latinized as Kappa Phoenicis, is a single[9] star in the southern constellation of Phoenix. It is visible to the naked eye as a white-hued point of light with an apparent visual magnitude of 3.94.[2] The distance to this star is approximately 77.7 light years based on parallax,[1] and it is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +11 km/s.[4] It is a member of the Castor Moving Group of co-moving stars.[10]
This object has a stellar classification of A5IVn,[3] which matches the spectrum of an A-type subgiant star with "nebulous" lines due to rapid rotation. It is 348[5] million years old and is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 245 km/s.[7] The star has 1.7[5] times the mass of the Sun and 2.0[6] times the Sun's radius. It is radiating 10.7[6] times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 7,320 K.[6] The star displays an infrared excess that matches the signature of a debris disk orbiting 9 astronomical unit|AU from the host star with a temperature of 170 K.[11]
