Suspected variable star in Triangulum
HD 11928 (HR 564; NSV 15408 ) is a solitary star[ 13] located in the northern constellation ofTriangulum . It is faintly visible to the naked eye as a red-hued point of light with anapparent magnitude of 5.85.[ 14] Gaia DR3 parallax measurements imply a distance of 530light-years and it is drifting closer with a heliocentricradial velocity of −1.93 km/s .[ 6] At its current distance, HD 11928's brightness is diminished by aninterstellar extinction of 0.13magnitudes [ 15] and it has anabsolute magnitude of +0.11.[ 7]
HD 11928 has astellar classification of M2 III,[ 4] indicating that is anevolved M-type giant star . It is currently anasymptotic giant branch star that is generating energy via the fusion ofhydrogen andhelium shells around an inertcarbon core . At present it has expanded to 52.68 times theradius of the Sun [ 8] and it radiates 485 times theluminosity of the Sun [ 9] from itsphotosphere at aneffective temperature of 3,656 K .[ 11]
In 1997, theHipparcos satellite observed that the star varied from 5.89 to 5.93 in theHipparcos passband .[ 16] Further observations from Koen & Eyer reveal that HD 11928 flucates between 5.84 and 5.85 in the visual passband within 50.7days .[ 17] As of 2004 however, its variability has not been confirmed,[ 18] but it is still suspected to be variable.
