HD 78004 is a single [6] star in the constellation Vela. It has the Bayer designation c Velorum, while HD 78004 is the identifier from the Henry Draper catalogue . The object has an orange hue and is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 3.75. [2] It is located at a distance of approximately 320  light years from the Sun based on parallax, [1] and is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +24 km/s. [2]

This is an aging K-type giant star with a stellar classification of K2III, [3] having exhausted the supply of hydrogen at its core then cooled and expanded off the main sequence. At present, it has 27 [4] times the radius of the Sun. The star is radiating 271.5 times the luminosity of the Sun from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,483 K. [4]
