Star in the constellation Chamaeleon
HD 120213 (HR 5188 ) is a solitarystar in the southerncircumpolar constellation Chamaeleon . It is faintly visible to thenaked eye with anapparent magnitude of 5.94 and is estimated to be 910light years away from theSolar System . However, the object is drifting closer with a heliocentricradial velocity ofkm/s
HD 120213 has astellar classification of K2 III: CN−1 CH −2.5,[ 3] red giant with an under abundance of CH molecules andcyano radicals in itsspectrum . It has also been classified as a mildbarium star ,[ 11] mass of the Sun [ 6] radii ofR ☉ [ 7] luminosity of the Sun from itsphotosphere at aneffective temperature ofK [ 7] metallicity 56% that of theSun [ 6] projected rotational velocity too low to be accurately measured.[ 8]
