49 Orionis is a single[10] star in the equatorial constellation of Orion. It has the Bayer designation d Orionis, while 49 Orionis is the Flamsteed designation. This object is visible to the naked eye as a faint, white-hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.80.[2] It is located 141 light years away from the Sun based on parallax,[1] but is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −5 km/s.[4]
In the past 49 Orionis was reported as a spectroscopic binary and an orbit was computed with a period of 445.74 days and an eccentricity of 0.549.[11] But it was later determined to be single.[10]
This object is an A-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of A4Vn,[3] where the 'n' suffix indicates broadened "nebulous" lines caused by rapid rotation. It is around 284[6] million years old with a projected rotational velocity of 186 km/s.[8] This spin is giving the star an oblate shape with an equatorial bulge that is an estimated 8% larger than the polar radius.[12] The star has 1.8[6] times the mass of the Sun and double[7] the Sun's radius. It is radiating 22[8] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 8,416 K.[6]
