SIMBAD data

G 99-47 (V1201 Orionis) is a nearby degenerate star (white dwarf) of spectral class DAP8 (DAP8.9, [4] or DAP8.7 [3] ), the single known component of the system, located in the constellation Orion. G 99-47 is the 10th-closest known white dwarf, the next closest after LP 658-2 and GJ 3991 B. [7]

Contents

The mass of G 99-47 is 0.71±0.03 Solar masses; [3] its surface gravity is 108.20 ± 0.05 (1.58 · 108) cm·s−2, [3] or approximately 162 000 of Earth's, corresponding to a radius 7711 km, or 121% of Earth's. Its temperature is 5790 ± 110 K, [3] almost like the Sun's; its cooling age, i. e. age as degenerate star (not including lifetime as main sequence star and as giant star) is 3.97 Gyr. [4] Due almost equal to the Sun's temperature, GJ 1087 should appear almost the same white color as the Sun. The white dwarf has a strong magnetic field, with measured vertical component near surface equal to 560 T. [8]
