HD 16754 is a binary [12] or triple-star [9] system in the constellation Eridanus. It has the Bayer designation s Eridani; HD 16754 is the designation from the Henry Draper catalogue . The system is visible to the naked eye as a faint point of light with an apparent visual magnitude of +4.74. [3] It is located at a distance of approximately 132  light years from the Sun based on parallax, [2] and is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +18 km/s. [3] The system is a member of the Columba association of co-moving stars. [13]

This object was flagged as an astrometric binary based on proper motion measurements made from the Hipparcos spacecraft. [14] [15] Zuckerman et al. (2011) consider it a multi-star system, with a bright A-type primary plus a faint M-type companion at an angular separation of 25″ to the north. The astrometric companion to the primary remains unresolved. [9]

The main component is an A-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of A1 Vb. [4] Based upon stellar models, it has an age estimated at 212 million years. [8] Consistency with its membership in the Columba association suggests a much younger age of 30 million years. [9] Earlier measurements showed a high projected rotational velocity of 168 km/s. [10] However, Ammler-von Eiff and Reiners (2012) found a much lower velocity of 13 km/s. [7]

The visible companion is a red dwarf star with a class in the range M2-5V. The system is a source of X-ray emission with a luminosity of 924×1020  W , which is most likely coming from this component and the unresolved companion. [5]
