Pi Piscium(π Piscium) is a solitary,[8]yellow-white huedstarin thezodiacconstellationofPisces.It is faintly visible to the naked eye, having anapparent visual magnitudeof 5.60.[2]Based upon an annualparallax shiftof 28.50masas seen from Earth,[1]it is located about 1114light yearsfrom theSun.It is a member of thethin diskpopulation of theMilky Way.[5]

This is an ordinaryF-type main-sequence starwith astellar classificationof F0 V.[3]At the estimated age of two billion years,[6]it is about 55% of the way through itsmain sequencelifetime[4]and still has a relatively high rate of spin with aprojected rotational velocityof 105.9 km/s.[2]The star has 1.5[4]times themass of the Sunand is radiating 6.3[4]times theSun's luminosityat aneffective temperatureof 6,850 K.[2]

Naming

[edit]

InChinese,Hữu càng(Yòu Gèng), meaningOfficial in Charge of the Pasturing,refers to an asterism consisting of refers to an asterism consisting of π Piscium,η Piscium,ρ Piscium,ο Pisciumand104 Piscium.Consequently, theChinese namefor π Piscium itself isHữu càng tam(Yòu Gèng sān,English:the Third Star of Official in Charge of the Pasturing.)[9]
