HD 32515 (HR 1635) is a solitary star located in the southern constellation Caelum. It has an apparent magnitude of 5.9, [3] making it faintly visible to the naked eye under ideal conditions. The star is situated at a distance of 326 light years [2] but is receding with a heliocentric radial velocity of 29.4 km/s . [6]
HD 32515 has a stellar classification of K2 III, [4] indicating that it is an early K-type giant star. HD 32515 has an angular diameter of 1.03±0.07 mas [11] (after limb darkening correction); this yields a diameter 11.9 times that of the Sun at its estimated distance. At present, it has 152% [7] of the Sun's mass and shines at 56.3 [8] times the luminosity of the Sun from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,540 K, [8] giving it an orange glow. HD 32515 has a similar metallicity [8] and age [7] to the Sun and spins slowly with a projected rotational velocity of 1.4 km/s
