32 Vulpeculae is a single[8]star located around 610[1] light years away from the Sun in the northernconstellationVulpecula,[7] a few degrees south of the border withCygnus. It is visible to the naked eye as a faint, orange-hued star with a typicalapparent visual magnitude of 5.03.[2] This object is drifting further away from the Earth with a heliocentricradial velocity of +6 km/s.[2]
This is an agingred giant[4] star with astellar classification of K4 III,[5] having exhausted the supply of hydrogen at its core then expanded to 54[1] times theSun's radius. It is a suspectedvariable of unknown type, with a visual magnitude that has been measured ranging from 4.99 down to 5.06.[3] The star is radiating 708[1] times theluminosity of the Sun from its enlargedphotosphere at aneffective temperature of 4,041 K.[1]
