HD 28843, also known as HR 1441 and DZ Eridani, is a star about 550 light years from the Earth, in the constellation Eridanus.[1] It is a 5th magnitude star, so it will be faintly visible to the naked eye of an observer far from city lights. It is a variable star, whose brightness varies slightly from 5.70 to 5.84 during its 1.374 day rotation period.[2][9] It is a member of the μ Tauri Association, a group of young stars within the larger Cassiopeia-Taurus Structure.[3]
In 1969 Mercedes Jaschek et al. determined that HD 28843 is a helium-weak star, based on its B-V color index being bluer (more negative) than would be expected for a star with its spectral type.[12] In 1977, Robert Davis reported that the star has an overabundance of silicon.[13] It is classified as a chemically peculiar star.[14]
Henning Jorgensen et al. reported that HD 28843 was a "suspected variable star" in 1971.[15] The variability of the star was firmly established in 1977 by Holger Pedersen and Bjarne Thomsen, during a spectroscopic and photometric study of helium weak and helium strong stars. They determined its period to be 1.374±0.006 days.[16] In 1978 the star was given the variable star designation DZ Eridani.[17]
Ermanno Borra et al. reported in 1983 the detection of the magnetic field of HD 28843, and estimated its strength to be a few hundred gauss.[18] Later data from the International Ultraviolet Explorer implied a field strength of 250 gauss.[19]
M. Farthmann et al. reported in 1994 that high spectral resolution observations of the 4471Å spectral line of neutral helium can be explained if HD 28843 has two helium-enriched circular "caps" separated by a region with a dramatically lower helium abundance.[20]
