HD 120565, also designated as HR 5203, is a star located in the northern circumpolar constellation Camelopardalis. It is faintly visible to the naked eye as an orange-hued point of light with an apparent magnitude of 5.91. Gaia DR3 parallax measurements imply a distance of 370 light-years and it is currently drifting closer with a heliocentric radial velocity of −45.2 km/s . At its current distance, HD 120565's brightness is diminished by 0.12 magnitudes due to interstellar extinction [13] and it has an absolute magnitude of +0.48. [6]
HD 120565 has a stellar classification of G9 III, [3] indicating that it is an evolved G-type giant star. It has 2.7 times the mass of the Sun [1] but at the age of 503 million years, [1] it has expanded to 10.8 times the radius of the Sun. [7] It radiates 64.1 times the luminosity of the Sun [1] from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,993 K . [9] HD 120565 is metal deficient with an iron abundance 63.1% that of the Sun's or [Fe/H] = −0.22, [10] and it spins modestly with a projected rotational velocity of 2.6 km/s . [11] It was determined to be a single-lined spectroscopic binary by J.R. De Mederios and J. R. P. da Silva based on radial velocity variations. [11]
