SIMBAD data

HD 200661 (HR 8067; 7 G. Equueli) is a solitary star located in the equatorial constellation Equuleus, the foal. It has an apparent magnitude of 6.41, [3] placing it near the limit for naked eye visibility. The star is located at a distance of 430 light years based on Gaia DR3 parallax measurements, [2] and it is drifting closer with a heliocentric radial velocity of −12.1  km/s . [7] At its current distance, HD 200661's brightness is diminished by an interstellar extinction of 0.18 magnitude, [14] and it has an absolute magnitude of +0.53. [1]

HD 200661 has a stellar classification of K0 III, [5] indicating that it is an evolved K-type star that has ceased hydrogen fusion at its core and left the main sequence. It has 122% the mass of the Sun, [8] but it has expanded to 10.64 times the radius of the Sun [9] as a result of its evolved state. It radiates 60.59 times the luminosity of the Sun [2] from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4815  K , [10] giving it a yellowish-orange hue when viewed in the night sky. HD 200661 is metal deficient with an iron abundance 61.7% that of the Sun's. [11]
