85 Ceti

85 Ceti is an older Flamsteed designation for a star that is now within the borders of the northern constellation of Aries, the ram. In the present day it is known by star catalogue designations such as HD 16861 and HR 797. It has an apparent visual magnitude of 6.30 and is approximately 410 light-years (130 parsecs) distant from the Earth. This is an A-type main sequence star with a stellar classification of A2 V. It has 2.4 times the mass of the Sun and shines with 48 times the Sun's luminosity. This energy is being radiated into outer space from the star's outer atmosphere at an effective temperature of 8,810 K. This heat gives it the white-hued glow of an A-type star.

54 Ceti

54 Ceti is an older Flamsteed designation for a star that is now located within the constellation boundaries of Aries, the Ram. In the present day it is known by star catalogue identifiers like HD 11257 or HR 534. At an apparent visual magnitude of 5.94, it can be seen with the naked eye. The distance to this star, as determined using parallax measurements made during the Hipparcos mission, is approximately 139 light-years (43 parsecs), give or take a 6 light-year margin of error. It is located near the ecliptic and hence is subject to occasional occultations by the Moon and planets.

This is an F-type main sequence star with a stellar classification of F2 Vw, where the 'w' indicates weak absorption lines in the spectrum. It is a candidate member of the Ursa Major Moving Group, which has an estimated age of 500 ± 100 million years.
