HD 92209 (HR 4170) is a probable spectroscopic binary [10] in the southern circumpolar constellation Chamaeleon. It has an apparent magnitude of 6.29, [2] placing it near the max naked eye visibility. Parallax measurements place the system at a distance of 600 light years [1] and is currently receding with a heliocentric radial velocity of almost 18 km/s . [5]
The visible component has a stellar classification of K2 III, [3] indicating that it is a red giant. As a consequence, it has expanded to 14.39 times the radius of the Sun. [7] Nevertheless, it has 122% the mass of the Sun [6] and shines with a luminosity of 81.3 L☉ , [8] yielding an effective temperature of 4,460 K [8] from its enlarged photosphere, which in turn gives an orange hue. HD 92209 has a metallicity 115% that of the Sun [9] and spins leisurely with a projected rotational velocity lower than 1 km/s . [10]
HD 92589 is a double star in the constellation Antlia. The system has a combined apparent magnitude of 6.39, placing it near the limit of naked eye visibility. The system is located about 590 light years away based on its parallax shift and has a heliocentric radial velocity of 11 km/s. This indicates that it is drifting away from the Solar System.
HD 164712, also known as HR 6731 is an orange hued star located in the southern constellation of Apus. It has an apparent magnitude of 5.86, making it faintly visible to the naked eye if viewed under ideal conditons. Parallax measurements place the object at a distance of 229 light-years (70 pc), and it is currently receding with a heliocentric radial velocity of 14.8 km/s.
HD 161988, also known as HR 6635, is a solitary, orange hued star located in the southern circumpolar constellation Apus. It has an apparent magnitude of 6.07, allowing it to be faintly visible to the naked eye. Parallax measurements place it at a distance of 621 light years, and it is currently receding with a heliocentric radial velocity of 36.8 km/s.
HD 30442 is a solitary star in the northern circumpolar constellation Camelopardalis. It is faintly visible to the naked eye with an apparent magnitude of 5.47 and is estimated to be 403 light years away from the Solar System. The object has a heliocentric radial velocity of −37 km/s, indicating that it is drifting closer.
HD 173791 is a solitary yellow hued star located in the southern constellation Telescopium. It has an apparent magnitude of 5.80, allowing it to be viewed with the naked eye under suitable viewing conditions. Parallax measurements place the object at a distance of 364 light years, and it is currently receding from the Solar System with a heliocentric radial velocity of 9.7 km/s.
Beta Microscopii, Latinized from β Microscopii, is a solitary star in the constellation Microscopium. It is close to the lower limit of stars that are visible to the naked eye having an apparent visual magnitude of 6.05 Based upon an annual parallax shift of 6.5022 mas as seen from Earth, this star is located 502 light years away from the Sun. At that distance, the visual magnitude is diminished by an extinction factor of 0.19 due to interstellar dust.
HD 126209, also known as HR 5389, is a solitary, orange hued star located in the southern circumpolar constellation Apus. It has an apparent magnitude of 6.06, making it faintly visible to the naked eye under ideal conditions. Based on parallax measurements from the Gaia spacecraft, the object is estimated to be 560 light years distant. It appears to be approaching the Solar System with a fairly constrained heliocentric radial velocity of −8.1 km/s. De Mederios et al. (2014) found the radial velocity to be variable, making it a probable spectroscopic binary. Eggen (1993) lists it as a member of the old disk population.
HD 72922, also known as HR 3393, is a suspected astrometric binary located in the southern circumpolar constellation Chamaeleon. A 1993 paper by Olin J. Eggen lists it as a member of the Milky Way's old disk population.
HD 49268 is a solitary star in the southern circumpolar constellation Volans. It has an apparent magnitude of +6.49, placing it near the limit of naked eye visibility. Parallax measurements place the object at a distance of 456 light years; it is receding with a heliocentric radial velocity of 20.6 km/s.
HD 50002 is a solitary star in the southern circumpolar constellation Volans. It is faintly visible to the naked eye with an apparent magnitude of 6.09 and is located at a distance of 708 light years. However, it is drifting further with a heliocentric radial velocity of 5.1 km/s.
