HD 283750, also known as V833 Tauri, is a K-type main-sequence star 57 light-years away from the Sun. The star is much younger than the Sun at 1 billion years. [7] HD 283750 is similar to the Sun in its concentration of heavy elements. [6]

The star has a co-moving white dwarf companion WD 0443+270 at a projected separation of 124″, [9] both possibly ejected members of the Hyades cluster. The white dwarf companion has a rather exotic iron core [7] and belongs to spectral class DA9 and has the mass of 0.62±0.02  M☉. [10]

In 1981, Lee William Hartmann et al. announced their discovery that the star, then known as BD+26°730, is a variable star. [11] [12] It was given its variable star designation, V833 Tauri, in 1985. [13] Although HD 283750 was classified as a multi-period variable, [14] a paper in 2020 claims its variability does not exceed the variability of the Sun, and no period can be identified. [15]

HD 283750 is covered by a large amount of starspots, filling up to 28% of the stellar surface at the maxima of the magnetic cycle. [16] In November 1993, the star emitted an extremely powerful flare with energy of 7.47×1034  ergs , which is on or even above the upper limit of possible energy releases in flare stars. [14] The flares of HD 283750 are accompanied by particle beams strong enough to affect the polarization properties of the stellar photosphere. [17]

Suspected substellar companion

In 1996 a suspected 50-MJ brown dwarf HD 283750b on a 1.79-day orbit around HD 283750 was detected by the differential Doppler spectroscopy method. By 2007, the mass of the companion was refined to 0.19 M☉, making it a red dwarf star. [18]
