SIMBAD data

HD 50002 (HR 2536) 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 [2] and is located at a distance of 708 light years. [1] However, it is drifting further with a heliocentric radial velocity of 5.1  km/s. [5]

HD 50002 has a classification of K3 III, [3] indicating that it is a red giant. HD 50002 has a comparable mass to the Sun, [7] but has expanded to an enlarged radius of 27.9  R. [8] It radiates at 257 times the luminosity of the Sun [9] from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,444  K, [10] giving an orange hue. HD 50002 is metal enriched, with 166% the abundance of heavy metals compared to the Sun, [11] and has a projected rotational velocity too low to be measured accurately. [12]
