Yellow φ2 Orionis with nebulosity east of φ1 Orionis and south-east of λ Orionis

Phi2 Orionis is a star in the constellation Orion, where it forms a small triangle on the celestial sphere with the nearby Meissa and Phi1 Orionis.[8] This star is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.081.[2] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 28.67 mas,[6] it is located around 114 light-years from the Sun.

This is an evolved G-type star of stellar classification G8 III-IV,[3] which means that it is in an evolutionary stage between a subgiant (IV) and a giant star (III). It is estimated to be 6.9 billion years old, has 1.07 times the mass of the Sun,[5] but has expanded to 8 times the Sun's radius. The star shines with 30 times the solar luminosity from its outer atmosphere at an effective temperature of 4,700 K.[6]
