SIMBAD data

HD 196917 (HR 7909; 17 G. Microscopii; NSV 25227) is a solitary star [16] located in the southern constellation Microscopium. It is faintly visible to the naked eye as a red-hued point of light with an apparent magnitude of 5.74. [2] Gaia DR3 parallax measurements imply a distance of 426 light-years and [1] it is rapidly approaching the Solar System with a heliocentric radial velocity of −97.3  km/s . [9] At its current distance, HD 196917's brightness is diminished by 0.13 magnitudes due to interstellar extinction [17] and it has an absolute magnitude of +0.04. [10]

HD 196917 has a stellar classification of either M1 III [5] or M0 III, [6] indicating that it is an evolved M-type giant. It is currently on the asymptotic giant branch, [4] fusing hydrogen and helium shells around an inert carbon core. It has 1.27 times the mass of the Sun [11] but it has expanded to 44.2 times the radius of the Sun. [12] It radiates 620 times the luminosity of the Sun [1] from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 3,908  K . [13] HD 196917 is metal deficient with an iron abundance of [Fe/H] = −0.28 or 52.5% of the Sun's. [11]

The variability of the star was first detected in 1997 by the Hipparcos mission. [18] It found variations between 5.82 and 5.86 in the Hipparcos passband. Koen & Lyer (2002) observed visual variations from the star and found that HD 196917 varies by 0.009 magnitudes within 21.01 hours. [19] As of 2004, its variability has not been confirmed. [20]
