SIMBAD data

HD 55151 (HR 2712) is a solitary star located in the circumpolar constellation Volans. With an apparent magnitude of 6.47, [2] it is near the limit of naked eye visibility. The star is located 512 light years [1] away from the Solar System, but is drifting closer with a heliocentric radial velocity of -13 km/s. [1]

HD 55151 has a stellar classification of K0 III, [3] which states that it is an early K-type star that has exhausted hydrogen at its core and left the main sequence. It has twice the Sun's mass, [6] but has expanded to 12 times the Sun's girth. [1] It radiates at 70 solar luminosities [1] from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,824 K, [1] which gives it the orangish-yellow hue of a K-type star. HD 55151 belongs to the thin disk population, [9] and is slightly metal deficient. However, it has a projected rotational velocity that is too low to be measured. [8]
