54 Ceti is an older Flamsteed designation[9] for a star that is now located within the constellation boundaries of Aries,[10] the Ram. In the present day it is known by star catalogue identifiers like HD 11257 or HR 534.[8] At an apparent visual magnitude of 5.94,[2] it can be seen with the naked eye. The distance to this star, as determined using parallax measurements made during the Hipparcos mission, is approximately 139 light-years (43 parsecs), give or take a 6 light-year margin of error.[11] It is located near the ecliptic and hence is subject to occasional occultation by the Moon.[12]
This is an F-type main sequence star with a stellar classification of F2 Vw,[3] where the 'w' indicates weak absorption lines in the spectrum. The star is around 582[6] million years old with a projected rotational velocity of 29 km/s.[7] It has 1.5[6] times the mass of the Sun and 1.6[1] times the Sun's radius. The star is radiating six[1] times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 7,099 K.[3] It is a candidate member of the Ursa Major Moving Group, which has an estimated age of 500 ± 100 million years.[13]
