DELTA ERIDANI began its stellar life cycle as a main sequence yellow-white dwarf.  However, hydrogen fusion has ceased within its core causing it to expand into an orange-red subgiant.  It will continue to grow larger and brighter until it eventually becomes a true giant star due to core helium fusion.  As it has slowly expanded over millions of years, planets that previously orbited in the inner regions have been gradually torn apart by the increasing tidal forces.  Currently, there is a dense field of asteroids and dust debris in close proximity to the star, as well as four small rocky worlds orbiting further out in the system.
