Omega Eridani (ω Eri) is a binary star[9] system in the constellation Eridanus. It is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude is 4.37.[2] The distance to this star, as determined by the parallax method, is around 235 light years.

This is a single-lined spectroscopic binary[11] system with an orbital period of 3,057 days (8.4 years) and an eccentricity of 0.46. The primary component is an A-type subgiant star with a stellar classification of A9 IVn,[3] where the 'n' suffix indicates a broad ("nebulous") absorption due to rotation. The projected rotational velocity is 186[9] km/s.[9] This gives the star an oblate shape with an equator that is 13% wider than the polar radius. The angular size of Omega Eridani is 0.87 mas.[12] At an estimated distance of the star, this yields a physical size of around 6.7 times the radius of the Sun.[7]
