HD 90362 (HR 4092; 47 G. Sextantis ) is a solitarystar [ 16] located in theequatorial constellation Sextans . It is faintly visible to thenaked eye as a redish-orange-hued point of light with anapparent magnitude of 5.56.[ 2] Gaia DR3 parallax measurements imply a distance of approximately 460light-years [ 1] and it is receding with a heliocentricradial velocity of 35.6 km/s .[ 6] At its current distance, HD 90362's brightness is diminished by aninterstellar extinction of 0.19magnitudes [ 17] and it has anabsolute magnitude of +0.19.[ 7]
HD 90362 is an oldpopulation II star [ 18] with astellar classification of K6 III Fe −0.5,[ 4] indicating that it is anevolved K-type giant that has exhaustedhydrogen at itscore and left themain sequence along with a mild spectral underabundance ofiron . It is currently on theasymptotic giant branch , generating energy via the fusion of hydrogen andhelium shells around an inertcarbon core.[ 3] It has only 44% themass of the Sun [ 8] but at the age of 11billion years ,[ 8] it has expanded to 41.1 times theradius of the Sun .[ 9] It radiates 252 times theluminosity of the Sun [ 10] from its enlargedphotosphere at aneffective temperature of 3,804 K .[ 12] HD 90362 is metal deficient with an iron abundance of [Fe/H] = −0.1 or 79.4% of theSun 's[ 8] and it spins slowly with aprojected rotational velocity of approximately 1.5 km/s .[ 13]
The variability of the star was first detected in 1997 by theHipparcos mission.[ 19] It found variations between 5.69 and 5.72 in theHipparcos passband . As of 2004, its variability has not been confirmed.[ 20] HD 90362 has an optical companion located 142.6" away along aposition angle of 100° as of 2010.[ 21] It was first observed by M. Scaria in 1981.[ 21]
