Ap star in the constellation Apus.
HD 129899 (HIP 72670; 15 G. Apodis ), is a solitary
star located in the southern
circumpolar constellation
Apus , the
bird-of-paradise . It has an
apparent magnitude of 6.44,
[2] placing it near the limit for
naked eye visibility, even under ideal conditions. The object is located relatively far at a distance of 928
light-years based on
Gaia DR3
parallax measurements
[1] and it is receding with a heliocentric
radial velocity of 2.5
km/s .
[6] At its current distance, HD 129899's brightness is heavily diminished by an
interstellar extinction of 0.55
magnitudes
[14] and it has an
absolute bolometric magnitude of −1.28.
[8]
HD 129899 has a
stellar classification of ApSi,
[5] indicating that it is an
Ap star with an overabundance of
silicon in its spectrum. It has 3.43 times the
mass of the Sun
[4] and 4.95 times the
radius of the Sun .
[9] It radiates 190 times the
luminosity of the Sun from its
photosphere at an
effective temperature of 10,617
K ,
[10] giving it a bluish-white hue when viewed in the
night sky . It has a near solar
metallicity , having an
iron abundance of [Fe/H] = −0.01 or 97.7% of the
Sun 's.
[11] At the age of 229
million years , HD 129899 has completed 95% of its
main sequence lifetime.
[4] Unlike most
chemically peculiar stars , HD 129899 spins rapidly with a
rotational velocity of 199
km/s .
[10]
The object was observed to be an
Alpha2 Canum Venaticorum variable that fluctuates between 6.46 and 6.47 within 1.03
days ,
[3] which corresponds to the period of the rotation. However, this has not been confirmed. HD 129899 has a relatively weak
magnetic field of approximately 402± 48
gauss .
