HD 37811 (HR 1958) is a solitary [12] star in the southern constellation Columba. It has an apparent magnitude of 5.44, [2] allowing it to be faintly seen with the naked eye. Parallax measurements place the object at a distance of 382 light years [1] and it is currently approaching with a heliocentric radial velocity of −8.3 km/s . [6]
HD 37811 has a stellar classification of G6/8 III [4] — intermediate between a G6 and G8 giant star that is currently on the red giant branch. [3] It has 3 times the mass of the Sun [7] but has expanded to 11.7 times its girth [7] at an age of 440 million years. [9] It shines with a luminosity of 86 L☉ [7] from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,139 K , [7] giving a yellow glow. HD 37811 has a solar metallicity [7] and spins leisurely with a projected rotational velocity of about 2.4 km/s . [8]
μ1 Chamaeleontis, Latinized as Mu1 Chamaeleontis, is a single star in the southern circumpolar constellation Chamaeleon. It is dimly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.53. Based upon parallax measurements, it is located approximately 403 light-years away from the Sun.
