SIMBAD data

HD 39118 (HD 39119, HR 2024) is a spectroscopic binary star in the constellation Orion, close to the celestial equator. It is made up from three stars: a cool primary (a K-type giant star) and a hot secondary, which is a binary star formed from a B-type main-sequence star and an A-type main-sequence star. A 2021 estimate derive a distance of 708 parsecs (2,310 ly) to HD 39118, and it is moving away from Earth at a speed of 4.24 km/s. The apparent magnitude is 5.976, making it visible to the naked eye only from dark skies.

Characteristics

HR 2024 is a spectroscopic binary (more precisely a single-lined spectroscopic binary) [10] made up of a cool primary and a hot secondary, which is also a binary star. [3] The designations “cold” and “hot” refer to the effective temperature of the components. They are separated by 4.7×108 kilometres (3.1  AU ), and complete an orbit around each other every 2,570 days (7 years). [5] The orbital eccentricity is equivalent to 0.3. [5]

HD 39118 can be seen in the northern celestial hemisphere, close to the celestial equator, at a distance of 708 parsecs (2,310 light-years) in the constellation Orion. [1] [4] [b] It has an apparent magnitude of 5.976. [1] At this magnitude, it is visible to the naked eye only in dark skies, being close to the limiting magnitude to naked-eye vision of 6.5. [11] The absolute magnitude, i.e. its brightness if it was seen at a distance or 10 parsecs (32.6 ly), is –2.53. [3] It is moving away from Earth at a velocity of 4.24 km/s. [1]

It was double cataloged in the Henry Draper Catalogue, receiving the designations HD 39118 and HD 39119. [1]

Primary star

The primary has an spectral classification of K0II, [3] meaning that it is a K-type star that has left the main sequence, being now a bright giant star. Currently, it is in the horizontal branch of evolution. [2] It is 3.28 times more massive has expanded to 25 times the Sun's size. [2] It emitts a luminosity 535 [6] times the solar luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,550 K, which is around 1,200 K cooler than the Sun. [7] [c] It has a subsolar metallicity, having an abundance of iron on its surface equivalent to 46% that of the Sun. [7] [d] The age of the primary is estimated at 263 million years, [2] much younger than the Sun (4.6 billion years) despite its advanced evolutionary stage. It rotates under its own axis at a velocity of 4.19 km/s. [8] The B-V index is of 1.12, [3] giving it the typical orange hue of a K-type star. [e]

Hot companion

The hot companion is made up of two other stars, one is a late B-type main-sequence star (spectral type B7V/B8V) and the other is an early A-type main-sequence star (spectral type A0V). [3] It has an absolute magnitude about 1.55 magnitudes fainter than the primary companion. [3] The B-type star has an effective temperature of 11,300 K. [9] The B-V index of the hot companion is of –0.09, [3] meaning that it has a typical hue of a B-type star. [e]
