54 Ceti is an older Flamsteed designation[8] for a star that is now located within the constellation boundaries of Aries,[9] the Ram. In the present day it is known by star catalogue identifiers like HD 11257 or HR 534.[7] At an apparent visual magnitude of 5.94,[2] it can be seen with the naked eye. The distance to this star, as determined using parallax measurements made during the Hipparcos mission, is approximately 139 light-years (43 parsecs), give or take a 6 light-year margin of error.[1] It is located near the ecliptic and hence is subject to occasional occultations by the Moon and planets.[7]
This is an F-type main sequence star with a stellar classification of F2 Vw,[3] where the 'w' indicates weak absorption lines in the spectrum. It is a candidate member of the Ursa Major Moving Group, which has an estimated age of 500 ± 100 million years.[10]
