Star in the constellation Hydra
C Hydrae is a single[ 11] star in theequatorial constellation ofHydra ,[ 10] located 122 light years away from the Sun.[ 2] It has theFlamsteed designation 30 Monocerotis ,[ 10] assigned when it belonged to the constellationMonoceros . The object is visible to the naked eye as a white-hued star with anapparent visual magnitude of 3.90.[ 3] It is moving away from the Earth with a heliocentricradial velocity of +10 km/s.[ 6]
This is anA-type main-sequence star with astellar classification of A0 Va.[ 5] It is around 162[ 8] million years old with a high rate of spin, showing aprojected rotational velocity of 129 km/s. The star has 2.3 times themass of the Sun and about 2.5 times theSun's radius . It is radiating 37 times theluminosity of the Sun from itsphotosphere at aneffective temperature of 9,074 K.
Astatistically significant infrared excess has been detected, indicating adebris disk is orbiting 2.0± 0.1 AU from the host star with ablackbody temperature of 499± 3 K . It is comparable in size to theasteroid belt .[ 12] UnexplainedX-ray emission has also been detected coming from these coordinates – stars of this class are not normally expected to show X-ray emission, so it may be coming from a background source or an unseen companion.[ 13]
