Star in the constellation Orion
Pi6 Orionis (π6 Ori, π6 Orionis) is a solitary[ 9] star in the eastern part of the constellation Orion . It is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.469.[ 2] parallax shift of 3.45 mas ,[ 1] light-years from the Sun . At that distance, the visual magnitude of the star is reduced by an interstellar absorption factor of 0.52.[ 4]
This is an evolved K-type giant star on the horizontal branch ,[ 6] stellar classification of K0/1 III.[ 3] variable star with a measured variation between 4.45 and 4.49 in visual magnitude.[ 10] 6 Orionis has over four times the mass of the Sun and has expanded to around 88 times the Sun's radius . Over the course of its life span, the star has shed around ± 0.01effective temperature of K outer atmosphere it is radiating roughly 2,200 times the solar luminosity .[ 6]
