SIMBAD data

HD 110458 is a single [9] star in the southern constellation of Centaurus. It has the Bayer designation w Centauri, while HD 110458 is the star's identifier in the Henry Draper Catalogue . The star has an orange hue and is faintly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of +4.66. [2] It is located at a distance of approximately 191  light years from the Sun based on parallax, [1] but is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −12 km/s. [2] Based on its space motion, in 1972 O. J. Eggen listed it as a probable member of the Hyades group. [10]

The stellar classification of HD 110458 is K0III, [3] [4] which indicates this is an aging giant star that has exhausted the supply of hydrogen at its core. It is estimated to be 2.6 [6]  billion years old with 1.7 [6] times the mass of the Sun and has expanded to 11.6 [7] times the girth of the Sun. The star is radiating 61 [7] times the luminosity of the Sun from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,682 K. [6]
