K-type star in the constellation Delphinus
10 Delphini (10 Del) is a solitarystar in the equatorialconstellation Delphinus . It has anapparent magnitude of 6.00, allowing it to be faintly seen with thenaked eye .Parallax measurements put the object at a distance of 493light years but is drifting closer with a heliocentricradial velocity of −32 km/s .
10 Delphini has astellar classification of K4 III[ 3] or K2 III,[ 11] both indicating that it is ared giant . However, there is some uncertainty behind the first classification. It has twice themass of the Sun [ 8] but at an age of 794million years [ 8] — expanded to 18 times theradius of the Sun .[ 9] It shines at 125 L ☉ [ 9] from its enlargedphotosphere at aneffective temperature of 4,378K ,[ 10] giving it an orange glow. 10 Del has a solarmetallicity .[ 10]
10 Del has been suspected to be a variable star, although it hasn't been catalogued as such in the GCVS.[ 12]
