Epsilon Eridani is a star in the constellation of Eridanus.

Viewable from most o

f Earth's surface along a declination 9.46 south of the celestial equator, it is
10.5 light-years away and has an apparent magnitude of 3.73. It is the third-clo
sest individual star or star system visible to the unaided eye. Estimated at les
s than a billion years old, the young star has a higher level of magnetic activi
ty than the present-day Sun, with a stellar wind 30 times as strong. Epsilon Eri
dani is smaller and less massive than the Sun, with a greater proportion of hydr
ogen and helium. It is a main-sequence star of spectral class K2, which means th
at energy generated at the core through nuclear fusion of hydrogen is emitted fr
om the surface at a temperature of about 5,000 K, giving it an orange hue. Obser
vations for more than twenty years have yielded evidence of a giant planet orbit
ing the star, making it one of the nearest systems with a candidate exoplanet. T
he detection of this planet, Epsilon Eridani b, was announced by Bruce Campbell,
Gordon Walker and Stephenson Yang in 1987.
