Phi Orionis (37 Orionis, φ Orionis) is a main sequence star in the constellation of Orion.[5] The name "Phi Orion" actually refers to two unrelated stars in Orion that happen to appear near each other, disgnated Phi-1 Orion and Phi-2 Orion.[6] They are seperated by 0.71° degrees in the night sky and along with the star Meissa, form a lesser known triangle.[7] The two stars along with Lamda Orionis are situated in a red emission nebula designated Sh2-264.[8] Here we mainly consider Phi-1 Orion.
Phi-1 Orionis is located nine times further away from Earth than Phi-2 Orionis at a distance of 1087.21 light years.[3] The star is significantly larger than the Sun with a mass of 14 solar masses and a radius 6.9 times larger than Sol's.[5] Its extrodinarily high surface temperature of 28,900 kelvin means it radiates vast quantities of radiation in the ultraviolet portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. It also constributes to Phi-1 Orionis' high luminosity of 29,650 times larger than the Sun's.[5] It's equator rotates at 28 kilometers per second, or equivalently the star rotates with a period of just under 12.3 days, fairly slow compared to most stars. The star is known from spectroscopy to have a companion star, making it a binary system.[9] They orbit each other with a period of 8.4 years and an orbital seperation of 10 Astronomical units.[5]
Phi-2 Orionis
Phi-2 Orionis (Flamsteed designation 40 Orionis) is a hypergiant star and is situated much closer than Phi-1 Orionis, at around 117.48 light years.[10][11] It is slightly brighter in the night sky than its counterpart at magnitude +4.1 as it is much closer; intrinsically it is only 34.8 times brighter than the Sun.[12] It is 6.95 times the size of the Sun and has a surface temperature of 4,948 Kelvin.
