Characteristics
64 Ceti is a G-type star that has left the main sequence and now evolved into a subgiant, based on its spectral type of G0IV and evolutionary models. It has about 1.53 times the Sun's mass and has expanded to 2.53 times the Sun's diameter. It is emitting 8.13 times the solar luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 6,066 K. The age of 64 Ceti is estimated at 2.63 billion years, about 58% of the Solar System's age, and it rotates under its axis at a speed of 8.96 km/s, translating into a rotation period of 15 days. The B-V index of the star is 0.57, corresponding to a yellow-white hue of a late G/early F star.It is located in the constellation Cetus, based on its celestial coordinates. Gaia DR3 measured a parallax of for this star, translating into a distance of. The absolute magnitude, i.e. its brightness if it was seen at a distance of, is 2.59. It has a high proper motion across the sky and belongs to the thin disk population, being located above the galactic plane.
