Pi1 Orionis

Pi<sup>1</sup> Orionis (π<sup>1</sup> Ori, π<sup>1</sup> Orionis) is a star in the equatorial constellation of Orion. It is faintly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.74. Based upon an annual parallax shift of 28.04&nbsp;mas, it is located about 116&nbsp;light-years from the Sun.

This is an A-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of A3&nbsp;Va. It is a Lambda Boötis star, which means the spectrum shows lower-than-expected abundances for heavier elements. Pi<sup>1</sup> Orionis is a relatively young star, just 100 million years old, and is spinning fairly rapidly with a projected rotational velocity of 120&nbsp;km/s. It has nearly double the mass of the Sun and 173% of the Sun's radius. The star radiates 16.9 times the solar luminosity from its outer atmosphere at an effective temperature of .

An infrared excess indicates there is a debris disk with a temperature of 80&nbsp;K orbiting from the star. The dust has a combined mass 2.2% that of the Earth.
