HD 30080, also known as HR 1509, is a solitary, [15] orange hued star located in the southern constellation Caelum, the chisel. It has an apparent magnitude of 5.66, [3] allowing it to be faintly visible to the naked eye. Parallax measurements from Gaia DR3 place the object at a distance of 612 light years. It appears to be approaching the Solar System with a heliocentric radial velocity of −3.8 km/s . [6] Eggen (1989) lists it as a member of the thick disk population. [11]
HD 30080 is an evolved red giant with a stellar classification of K3 III. [4] It is currently on the red giant branch, [2] generating energy by fusing a hydrogen shell around an inert helium core. It has 116% the mass of the Sun [7] but has expanded to 41.6 times its girth. [8] It radiates 299 times the luminosity of the Sun [9] from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,262 K . [10] HD 30080 has a solar metallicity [11] and spins slowly with a projected rotational velocity of <1 km/s . [12]
