SIMBAD data

HD 166006, also known as HR 6778, is a solitary orange-hued star located in the southern constellation Telescopium. It has an apparent magnitude of 6.07, making it barely visible to the naked eye. Based on Gaia DR2 parallax measurements, the object is located 582 light years away. It is currently approaching the Solar System with a somewhat constrained heliocentric radial velocity of −15  km/s .

HD 166006 has a stellar classification of K1 III CN2, [3] which indicates that it is an evolved red giant with a strong overabundance of cyano radicals in its spectrum, making it a CN star. At the estimated distance of HD 166006, the star has an angular diameter of 1.05  mas . [10] This yields a radius of 20.1 R☉. [9] It has 1.24 times the mass of the Sun [8] and radiates 165 times the luminosity of the Sun [7] from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,529 K. [10] The star is slightly metal deficient ([Fe/H] = −0.07 [8] ) and spins a little too slowly to be accurately measured. [11] HD 166006 has an optical 11th magnitude companion located 1.8" away along a position angle of 271° as of 2015. [13]

θ Trianguli Australis, Latinized as Theta Trianguli Australis, is a single star in the southern constellation of Triangulum Australe. It is visible to the naked eye as a dim, yellow-hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of +5.50. The star is located about 334 light years from the Sun based on parallax, and is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +10 km/s.

65 Andromedae, abbreviated 65 And, is a single, orange-hued star in the northern constellation of Andromeda. With an apparent magnitude of 4.73, it is visible to the naked eye. The distance to 65 And can be derived from its annual parallax shift of 7.5 mas, which yields a range of around 440 light years. At that distance, its brightness is relatively lowered primarily by the inverse square law but also by an extinction of 0.16 magnitude due to interstellar dust. The star is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of −5 km/s.

10 Andromedae, abbreviated 10 And, is an astrometric binary star system in the northern constellation of Andromeda. 10 Andromedae is the Flamsteed designation. It has an apparent visual magnitude of approximately 5.81, which means it is faintly visible to the naked eye. Based upon an annual parallax shift of 6.6 mas, it is located 492 light years away. The system is moving toward the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of −1.1 km/s.

70 Aquilae, abbreviated 70 Aql, is a single orange-hued star in the equatorial constellation of Aquila. 70 Aquilae is its Flamsteed designation. It is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.90. The distance to 70 Aquilae, as determined from its annual parallax shift of 3.5 mas, is around 940 light years. The star is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of −9 km/s.

66 Aquilae, abbreviated 66 Aql, is a fifth-magnitude star in the constellation of Aquila. 66 Aquilae is its Flamsteed designation. It is visible to the naked eye, having an apparent visual magnitude of 5.44. The star shows an annual parallax shift of 4.4 mas, which provides a distance estimate of around 730 light years. It is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of −30 km/s. The motion of the star over time suggests some displacement, which may indicate it is a close binary system.
