Beta Caeli (β Caeli, abbreviated to β Cae) is the Bayer designation for a star in the southern constellation of Caelum. It is a dim star but visible to the naked eye, having an apparent visual magnitude of 5.04.[2] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 4.88 mas as seen from Earth,[1] it is located 94 light years from the Sun. The star is moving away from the Sun with a radial velocity of +28.8 km/s.[4]

This is a probable single-lined spectroscopic binary star system.[9] The visible component has a stellar classification of F3 V[3] or F3 IV,[4] indicating it is either an F-type main-sequence star or a somewhat more evolved subgiant star, respectively. It has an estimated 1.3[6] times the mass of the Sun and about 1.3[7] times the Sun's radius. The star is 1.75[6] billion years old and has a high rate of spin with a projected rotational velocity of around 97.5 km/s.[5]

The companion is likely to be a low-mass (0.2 M☉) star orbiting about 5 AU from the primary.[10] This object may be the source of the X-ray emission coming from the same location.[9]
