SIMBAD data

HIP 94292 (commonly referred to by its KIC designation KIC 9145955) is a G-type red giant branch star located 1351 light years from Earth in the northern constellation of Lyra. It is 1.24 times more massive than the Sun and has a radius of 5.636 solar radii.

Contents

It has a small scale magnetic field of 65 Gauss that is largely concentrated in the photosphere of the star.

Description

It has an apparent magnitude of 10.05, [2] which makes it too faint to observe with the naked eye, but readily visible through a 35-mm aperture telescope. [9] Gaia EDR3 parallax measurements place the star some 1,351 light-years (414 parsecs) distant, and it is receding with a heliocentric radial velocity of +17.4 km/s. [1]

HIP 94292 is an evolved giant star with a spectral type of G8III. [3] It is currently on the red-giant branch (RGB), [6] undergoing the CNO cycle within a hydrogen shell surrounding an inert core made of helium. With a radius 5.6 times that of the Sun and an effective temperature just over 5,000 K (4,730 °C; 8,540 °F), it radiates 18.8 times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere. [6] Due to its higher mass of 1.24 M☉, it is further evolved than the Sun despite a similar age of 4.61±0.23 billion years. [8]

The helium core has been precisely measured to have a mass of 0.210±0.002M☉ and a radius of 0.0307±0.0002R☉. [6] As expected of RGB stars, HIP 94292 exhibits solar-like oscillations. [8]

Magnetic field

HIP 94292 was found to have small scale magnetic fields with an upper limit of around 65 Gauss that concentrates at a height of 13,100 kilometers in the photosphere of the star. [10]
