HD 65907 is a star in the constellation Carina. At an apparent magnitude of +5.59, it is faintly visible to the naked eye in locations far from light pollution. Parallax measurements give a distance of 52.7 light-years (16.17 parsecs ).

Characteristics

The spectrum of this star matches a spectral class of F9.5V, [1] with the luminosity class V suggesting that it is a main sequence star fusing atoms of hydrogen into helium at its core. Based on stellar isochrones, HD 65907 would be roughly 4.6 billion years old, [5] nearly the same as the Solar System, and it would be expected to be a population I star. However, the chemical properties and galactic orbit of this star strongly indicate that it is a population II star, which would place its actual age at 11 billion years. To account for its old age, the star must be a blue straggler, the product of a stellar merger. The merger happened five billion years ago and involved two stars with less than 0.5  solar masses. [3]

HD 65907 has 1.02 times the mass of the Sun [5] and 1.07 times the Sun's radius. It radiates 1.30 times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere [6] at an effective temperature of 5,992  K . [5] This temperature give it the yellowish-white hue typical of a star near the F/G boundary. [8]

The star displays an infrared excess, indicating that it is surrounded by a debris disk. The disk has a radius of 96  astronomical units and a temperature of 30  K (−243.2 °C; −405.7 °F). [3]

HD 65907 is part of a triple star system also known as Gliese 294 or WDS J07578-6018. [9] The companions are named HD 65907 B and C, or Gliese 294 B and C, both red dwarfs with a combined spectral class of M0.5V, [10] and apparent magnitudes of +9.88 and +13.5, respectively. [11] The pair is separated at 60.6" from the F-type primary, with an estimated orbital period of 22,000 years, and the components B and C are separated by 2.468" from each other, with an estimated period of 270 years.
