| Abstract: | Model atmosphere analysis, based on Kurucz models has been applied to study the F6V star π3 Ori (=BS1543=HD30652). The following values of the effective temperature, surface gravity and microturbulence velocity were
obtained: = 6270±200 K, log g = 3.80.2, ξt =3.5±0.5 km/s. The abundances of 10 elements were determined. The resulting element abundances for the π3
Ori were found to be about three times lower with respect to the Sun. From evolutionary calculations we derived a mass, radius
and luminosity for π3
Ori of M =1.3 M⊙, R =2.38 R⊙, L =7.9 L⊙. Hence this star should be classified F6IV instead of F6 V.
