SIMBAD data

HD 43899, also designated as HR 2263, is a solitary, [12] orange hued star located in the southern constellation Columba, the dove. It has an apparent magnitude of 5.53, [2] allowing it to be faintly visible to the naked eye. Based on parallax measurements from the Gaia spacecraft, the object is estimated to be 284 light years distant. [1] It appears to be rapidly receding with a heliocentric radial velocity of 66.5  km/s . [6] Eggen (1993) lists HD 43899 as an old disk star [13] and its kinematics match with that of the ζ Herculis moving group. [14]

HD 43899 is an evolved giant star that is currently on the horizontal branch, a red clump star, fusing a hydrogen shell around an inert helium core. [3] It has a stellar classification of K2 III. [4] At present the object has 115% the mass of the Sun [3] and an effective temperature of 4,686  K . [8] At the age of 6.32 billion years, [3] it has already left the main sequence and now radiates 61 times the luminosity of the Sun [1] from an enlarged photosphere 11.7 times that of the sun. [3] HD 43899 has an iron abundance 24% below solar levels, making it slightly metal deficient. [3] It spins modestly with a projected rotational velocity of 2.9  km/s . [9]
