φ Gruis, Latinised as Phi Gruis, is a solitary,[7] yellow-white hued star in the southern constellation of Grus. It is faintly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of +5.49.[2] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 28.24 mas as seen from the Earth,[1] it is 115 light years from the Sun. This is an F-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of F4 V,[3] with the luminosity class of 'V' indicating it is currently generating energy through hydrogen fusion at its core.
