14 Eridani is a star in the Eridanus constellation. It has an apparent visual magnitude of 6.143[2] and is moving closer to the Sun with a radial velocity of around −5 km/s.[4] The measured annual parallax shift is 29.26 mas, which provides an estimated distance of about 111 light years. Proper motion studies indicate that this is an astrometric binary.[9][10] The visible component has a stellar classification of F5 V Fe−0.7 CH−0.5,[3] which indicates it has the spectrum of an F-type main-sequence star with underabundances of iron and methylidyne. The system has been detected as a source of X-ray emission.[11]
