HD 16004 is blue-white hued star in the northern constellation of Andromeda. It is a challenge to see with the naked eye even under good viewing conditions, having an apparent visual magnitude of 6.26. [3] Located approximately 660 light-years (202 parsecs ) away from the Sun based on parallax, it is drifting closer with a heliocentric radial velocity of −7 km/s. [4]
This is a chemically peculiar mercury-manganese star [11] with a stellar classification of B9.5 III HgMn. [3] It is an estimated 162 million years old and is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 30 km/s . [8] The star is radiating 158 times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 10,809 K .
