HR 4458 (HD 100623 ) is abinary star system 31.18 light-years away in theequatorial constellation ofHydra . It has theFlamsteed designation 20 Crateris [ 19] and theGould designation 289 G. Hydrae ;[ 20] the former refers to the constellationCrater , since Flamsteed numbered the stars of Crater and the central portion of Hydra as a separate constellation from the other parts of Hydra.[ 19] This object is visible to the naked eye as a dim, orange-hued star with anapparent visual magnitude of 5.97.[ 3] It is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentricradial velocity of −22 km/s.[ 21]
The primary component is aK-type main-sequence star with astellar classification of K0 V.[ 6] It is around five billion years old[ 14] with 84% of theSun's radius .[ 10] The star is radiating 37% of theSun's luminosity [ 11] from itsphotosphere at aneffective temperature of 5,241 K.[ 12] It has been examined for the presence of aninfrared excess , but none was detected.[ 11]
There is a 15th-magnitudecommon proper motion companion called VB4 at anangular separation of 16.2″ ,[ 7] corresponding to aprojected separation of 162.5 AU .[ 22] This is awhite dwarf star with a classification of DC8.[ 7] The orbital period of the pair is estimated as 1,110 years.[ 22]
