HD 174430, also designated as HR 7093 or rarely 32 G. Telescopii, is a solitary blue-hued star located in the southern constellation Telescopium near Kappa Telescopii. It has an apparent magnitude of 6.29, [2] placing it near the limit for naked eye, even under ideal conditions. The object is located relatively far at a distance of 1,140 light-years based on Gaia DR3 parallax measurements, [1] but it is drifting closer with a heliocentric radial velocity of −23 km/s . [5] At its current distance, HD 174430's brightness is diminished by 0.32 magnitudes due to interstellar extinction [14] and it has an absolute magnitude of −1.80. [6]
HD 174430 has a stellar classification of B3/5 III, [3] indicating that it is an evolved B-type star with the characteristics of a B3 and B5 giant star. It has also been given a less evolved class of B6 V. [15] It has 4.05 times the mass of the Sun [7] and 5.72 times the radius of the Sun. [8] It radiates 696 times the luminosity of the Sun [9] from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 14,824 K . [10] HD 174430 has a near solar metallicity of [Fe/H] = −0.01 [7] and it is estimated to be 76 million years old. [11]
