HD 201647 (HR 8100; Gliese 9726; LTT 8410) is a solitary star [16] located in the southern constellation Microscopium. It is faintly visible to the naked eye as a yellowish-white-hued star with an apparent magnitude of 5.83. [2] The object is located relatively close at a distance of light-years based on Gaia DR3 parallax measurements, but it is receding with a heliocentric radial velocity of 4.5 km/s . [6] At its current distance, HD 201647's brightness is diminished by 0.11 magnitudes due to interstellar extinction [17] and it has an absolute magnitude of +3.33. [7] It has a relatively high proper motion across the celestial sphere, moving at a rate of 226.331 mas/yr. [18]
HD 201647 has a stellar classification of F5 V, [5] [4] indicating that it is an ordinary F-type main-sequence star that is generating energy via hydrogen fusion at its core. It has 1.28 times the mass of the Sun [8] and 1.47 times the radius of the Sun. [9] It radiates 3.79 times the luminosity of the Sun [1] from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 6,637 K . [11] HD 201647 is slightly metal enriched with an iron abundance of [Fe/H] = +0.06 or 115% of the Sun's. [12] It is estimated to be 916 million years old [8] and it spins modestly with a projected rotational velocity of 25.1 km/s . [13]
