5 Trianguli is a solitary star located in the northern constellation Triangulum. With an apparent magnitude of 6.23,[2] it’s barely visible to the naked eye under ideal conditions. The star is located 399 light years[1] away from the Solar System, but is drifting away with a radial velocity of 7.7 km/s.[5]
5 Trianguli has a classification of A0 Vm,[3] which states it’s an A-type main-sequence star with unusually strong metallic lines. It has 2.22 times the mass of the Sun and 2.96 times the radius of the Sun. 5 Trianguli radiates at 48 solar luminosities from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 8,836 kelvin, which gives it a white-hue of an A-type star.[7] It has a low projected rotational velocity of 15 km/s, common for Am stars.[9]
