χ Eridani (Latinised as Chi Eridani) is a binary star[10] system in the constellation Eridanus. It is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 3.70.[2] The distance to this system, as determined using the parallax method, is around 58 light years.[1] The pair had an angular separation of 5.0 arcseconds as of 1994. This corresponds to a projected separation of around 128 AU.[3]

The primary component is an evolving G-type subgiant star with a stellar classification of G8 IV.[4] It is about 1.6 times the mass of the Sun and has 4 times the Sun's radius.[8] The star shines with 10 times the solar luminosity from its outer atmosphere at an effective temperature of 5,115 K.[7] Unusually for a star of this class, it shows a photometric variability of 0.04 in magnitude, which may be due to a previous mass transfer from the secondary companion, or else from an undiscovered third companion.[8]

The companion is about 7 magnitudes fainter than the primary and may be the source of the X -ray emission from this system. This emission has a luminosity of 504.4×1027 erg s−1.[8]
