φ1 Orionis with nebulosity west of φ2 Orionis and south of λ Orionis

Phi1 Orionis is a binary star system in the constellation Orion, positioned less than a degree to the south of Meissa.[10] It is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.42.[2] The distance to this system, based upon an annual parallax shift of 3.0 mas,[1] is around 1,090 light-years.

This is a single-lined[6] spectroscopic binary star system with an orbital period of 3,068 days and an eccentricity of 0.22.[5] It is a member of the young Lambda Orionis cluster[11] and is roughly 7 million years old.[8] The primary component is a B-type giant star with a stellar classification of B0 III.[3] It has over 15 times the mass of the Sun and around 6.3 times the Sun's radius.[6] Nothing is known about the secondary companion. It does not contribute a significant amount of light to the combined spectrum.[6]
