74 Orionis is a single[ 10] star in the equatorial constellation of Orion . It has the Bayer designation k Orionis , while 74 Orionis is the Flamsteed designation . This object is visible to the naked eye as a faint, yellow-white hued point of light with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.04.[ 2] light years from the Sun based on parallax ,[ 1] radial velocity of +9 km/s.[ 5] proper motion , traversing the celestial sphere at the rate of 0.204 arc seconds per annum.[ 11]
This object is an ordinary F-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of F5V.[ 3] [ 6] billion years old and is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 18.8 km/s.[ 8] [ 6] mass of the Sun and 1.3[ 7] Sun's radius . Metallicity is near solar,[ 2] [ 2] luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 6,595 K.[ 6]
74 Orionis has two visual companions : component B, with magnitude 12.5 and separation 32.1", and C, with magnitude 9.0 and separation 195.5".[ 12]
