HD 162337, also known as HR 6646 or rarely 65 G. Apodis, is a solitary orange-hued star located in the southern circumpolar constellation Apus. It has an apparent magnitude of 6.35, [2] placing it near the limit for naked eye visibility, even under ideal conditions. The object is located relatively far at a distance of 989 light-years based on Gaia DR3 parallax measurements, [1] but it is drifting closer with a heliocentric radial velocity of −3.3 km/s . [5] At its current distance, HD 162337's brightness is heavily diminished by 0.45 magnitudes due to interstellar extinction [13] and it has an absolute magnitude of −0.61. [6]
HD 162337 has a stellar classification of K3/4 III, [3] indicating that it is an evolved star with the characteristics of a K3 and K4 giant star. It has expanded to 42 times the radius of the Sun [7] and now radiates 495 times the luminosity of the Sun [7] from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,186 K . [9] However, Gaia DR3 stellar evolution models give a larger radius of 67.8±1.6 R☉ [1] and a higher luminosity of 1,055+28
−27 L☉ . [1] HD 162337 is metal deficient with an iron abundance 21.9% that of the Sun's ([Fe/H] = −0.66) [8] and it spins too slowly for its projected rotational velocity to measured accurately. [10]
