High proper motion star; Camelopardalis
HD 117566 , also known asHR 5091 , is a solitary yellow-huedstar [ 15] located in the northerncircumpolar constellation Camelopardalis . It has anapparent magnitude of 5.74,[ 2] making it faintly visible to thenaked eye . This object is relatively close at a distance of 291light years based onGaia DR3 parallax measurements but is receding with a heliocentricradial velocity of 14 km/s .[ 7] At its current distance, HD 117566's brightness is diminished by 0.12magnitudes due tointerstellar dust .[ 16]
HD 117566 has astellar classification of G3 IIIb Fe−1 CH1,[ 5] indicating that it is aG-type giant with an under-abundance ofiron and an overabundance of theCH radical in itsspectrum . Itsevolutionary stage is unclear. A 1994 paper places it in theHertzsprung gap ,[ 3] indicating it has ceasedhydrogen core fusion and is now evolving toward thered giant branch (RGB). However, Mishenina et al. (2006) said that HD 117566 is already past the RGB and is on thehorizontal branch , fusinghelium at its core.[ 4] Nevertheless, it has 2.29 times themass of the Sun [ 9] and, at the age of 760million years ,[ 7] it has expanded to 7.2 times theSun's radius .[ 10] It radiates 38.2 times theluminosity of the Sun [ 1] from itsphotosphere at aneffective temperature of 5,420 K .[ 12] HD 117566 has a solarmetallicity [ 11] and spins modestly with aprojected rotational velocity of 9 km/s .[ 13]
