The info below is the result of a SIMBAD catalog search I did 10 years
ago on eps Eri. SIMBAD probably has much more recent data (Hipparcos)
now, but maybe the below is still useful for you. Several infrared
astronomy groups I was involved with at NASA Ames, observed this star
alot. It's a K main sequence circumstellar dust (infrared excess)
star. I wrote some old notes about these infrared excess stars here
