Epsilon Trianguli, Latinized from ε Trianguli, is a binary star[11] system in the northern constellation of Triangulum. Based upon measurement of its trigonometric parallax, it is approximately 390 light years from Earth.[1]
The primary component is an A-type main sequence star with a stellar classification of A2 V,[3] an apparent magnitude of +5.50 and an estimated age of 600 million years.[7] It has 2.75[6] times the mass of the Sun and is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 107 km/s.[9] The radius of this star is more than three times the radius of the Sun, and the photosphere has an effective temperature of about 10,000.[7] The secondary component has an apparent magnitude of 11.4 and is separated from the primary by an angle of 3.9 arcseconds.[12]
An excess emission of infrared radiation suggests the presence of a dusty disk in orbit about the primary. This disk has a mean radius of 105 AU, or 105 times the separation of the Earth from the Sun, and is radiating at a temperature of 85 K.[7]
This star system is a probable member of the Ursa Major Moving Group of stars that share a common motion through space.[8] The space velocity components of Epsilon Trianguli are [U, V, W] = [+11.8, +11.4, –3.8] km/s.[13]
