Kappa Fornacis [SEP] constellation
so the components of the secondary are the source of the excess energy in the system.
Properties.
In terms of an object on the celestial sphere, Kappa Fornacis is a fifth magnitude star that lies close to the border between the northerly border of Fornax with Cetus. At magnitude 5.2, it is approximately the seventh-brightest star in the constellation.
Kappa Fornacis A's colours and temperature indicate that it has a spectral type of G1 V, meaning that it is about 100 kelvins hotter than the Sun
Kappa Fornacis
Kappa Fornacis (κ For) is a star system that lies approximately 72 light-years away. The system consists of a somewhat evolved primary orbited by a massive, 'dark' secondary that is actually itself a close red dwarf binary, making a hierarchal triple system.
Multiplicity.
Kappa Fornacis was found to be 0.23 arcseconds north of an X-ray and Radio source in 1995, a distance so close that it is most likely associated with the star. While this would indicate that the star
