Pi2 Orionis (π2 Ori, π2 Orionis) is the Bayer designation for a solitary star in the equatorial constellation of Orion. Although the Bright Star Catalogue lists this as a spectroscopic binary star system,[10] this does not appear to be the case.[11] It is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.35.[2] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 14.53 mas,[1] it is located roughly 224 light-years away from the Sun.
This is an A-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of A1 Vn,[3] where the 'n' indicates broad absorption lines due to rotation. It is spinning rapidly with a projected rotational velocity of 261.4 km/s.[5] This is giving the star an oblate shape with an equatorial bulge that is 13% larger than the polar radius.[12] It is shining with 70[7] times the solar luminosity from its outer atmosphere at an effective temperature of 9,457 K.[8]
