HD 61772 is a bright giant star in the constellation Puppis. Its apparent magnitude is 4.98 and it is approximately 660 light years away based on parallax.
The apparent Flamsteed designation 140 Puppis is actually a shorthand of the Gould designation 140 G. Puppis, unambiguous in this case. [8]
The spectrum of HD 61772 match that of a K3II star, a cool bright giant. It has evolved away from the main sequence after about 1.3 billion years and is now 61 times the size of the Sun. Despite being cooler than the Sun at 4,018 K , it is over a thousand times more luminous.
μ Sculptoris, Latinized as Mu Sculptoris, is a solitary, orange-hued star in the southern constellation of Sculptor. It is visible to the naked eye as a dim point of light with an apparent visual magnitude of +5.30. This star is located approximately 291 light years from the Sun based on parallax, and it is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +16 km/s.
ε Monocerotis, Latinised as Epsilon Monocerotis, is the Bayer designation of a binary star system in the equatorial constellation Monoceros. Its location is a guide for sky navigation toward the Rosette Nebula.
10 Leonis Minoris is a single variable star in the northern constellation Leo Minor, located approximately 191 light years away based on parallax. It has the variable star designation SU Leonis Minoris; 10 Leonis Minoris is the Flamsteed designation. This body is visible to the naked eye as a faint, orange-hued star with a baseline apparent visual magnitude of 4.54. It is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of −12 km/s.
24 Scorpii is a star that was originally placed by John Flamsteed within the constellation of Scorpius but in now placed within the southeastern constellation of Ophiuchus. It is visible to the naked eye as a faint, yellow-hued point of light with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.91. Based on the trigonometric parallax published in Gaia Data Release 2, the star lies approximately 121 parsecs or 390 light years away. It is positioned near the ecliptic and thus is subject to lunar occultations.
31 Orionis is a binary star system in the equatorial constellation of Orion, located near the bright star Mintaka. It is visible to the naked eye as a faint, orange-hued point of light with a baseline apparent visual magnitude of 4.71. The distance to this system is approximately 490 light years away based on parallax, and it is drifting further away with a mean radial velocity of +6 km/s.
72 Pegasi is a binary star system in the northern constellation of Pegasus. It is visible to the naked eye as a faint, orange-hued point of light with a combined apparent visual magnitude of 4.97. The system is located approximately 550 light years away from the Sun, based on parallax, but is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −25 km/s.
HD 18970 is a class G9.5III star in the constellation Perseus. Its apparent magnitude is 4.77 and it is approximately 211 light years away based on parallax.
11 Puppis is a single star in the southern constellation of Puppis, located approximately 522 light years away based on parallax. It has the Bayer designation j Puppis; 11 Puppis is the Flamsteed designation. This object is visible to the naked eye as a faint, yellow-white star with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.20. It is moving further from the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of +13.3 km/s.
QZ Puppis is a class B2.5V star in the constellation Puppis. Its apparent magnitude is 4.5 and it is approximately 650 light years away based on parallax.
HD 59890 is a class G3Ib yellow supergiant star in the constellation Puppis. Its apparent magnitude is 4.65 and it is approximately 1,360 light years away based on parallax.
HD 63744 is a class K0III star in the constellation Puppis. Its apparent magnitude is 4.71 and it is approximately 232 light years away based on parallax.
HD 70555 is a class K2.5II-III star in the constellation Puppis. Its apparent magnitude is 4.83 and it is approximately 1,010 light years away based on parallax.
OU Puppis is a chemically peculiar class A0 star in the constellation Puppis. Its apparent magnitude is about 4.9 and it is approximately 188 light-years away based on parallax.
HD 53811 is a class A4IV star in the constellation Puppis. Its apparent magnitude is 4.92 and it is approximately 198 light years away based on parallax.
HD 51799 is a class M1III star in the constellation Puppis. Its apparent magnitude is 4.95 and it is approximately 860 light years away based on parallax.
HD 50235 is a class K5III star located approximately 811 light years away, in the constellation Puppis. Its apparent magnitude is 4.99. HD 50235 made its closest approach to the Sun 7.8 million years ago, at the distance of 137 light years, during which it had an apparent magnitude of 1.13.
HD 190056 is a class K1III star in the constellation Sagittarius. Its apparent magnitude is 4.99 and it is approximately 291 light years away based on parallax.
HD 42540, also known as HR 2196, is a suspected variable star in the constellation Pictor. A class K2-3III orange giant, its apparent magnitude is 5.04 and it is approximately 362 light years away based on parallax.
Epsilon Octantis, Latinized from ε Octantis, is a star in the southern circumpolar constellation of Octans. It is a faintly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of about 5. The annual parallax shift of 11.22 mas yields a distance estimate of around 291 light years. It is moving further from the Sun with a radial velocity of +11.7 km/s.
Gamma1 Octantis, Latinized from γ1 Octantis, is a single, yellow-hued star in the constellation which includes the southern celestial pole, Octans. Its apparent visual magnitude is 5.10, meaning that in good conditions it is bright enough to be faintly visible to the naked eye.
