Pi4 Orionis (π4 Ori, π4 Orionis) is a binary star system in the western part of the Orion constellation. It is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 3.7.[2] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 3.1 mass,[1] it is located roughly 1,050 light-years from the Sun.
This is a spectroscopic binary star system with an orbital period of 9.5 days and an eccentricity of 0.03.[5] The primary component is a B-type star with a stellar classification of B2 III.[3] The stellar spectrum of π4 Ori A shows a strong depletion of the element boron.[12] It has nearly 11[6] times the mass of the Sun and nine times the Sun's radius.[7] The star is 15.4[10] million years old and has a projected rotational velocity of 38 km/s.[9] It shines with 19,726[6] times the solar luminosity from its outer atmosphere at an effective temperature of 21,874 K.[7]
