Star in the constellation Octans
HD 166066 is a solitarystar located in the southerncircumpolar constellation Octans . It has anapparent magnitude of 8.10,[ 2] making it readily visible in binoculars, but not to thenaked eye . The object is located 223light years away from theSolar System ,[ 1] but is drifting away with a poorly constrainedradial velocity of about 2.93 km/s .[ 4]
HD 166066 has astellar classification of G0 V, indicating that it is aG-type main sequence star similar to theSun .[ 3] However, thecalcium H & K lines are narrow and weak for its class.[ 3] It has 113% themass of the Sun [ 6] and 139% its radius, along with twice itsluminosity .[ 5] [ 7]
Theiron abundance is 93% that of the Sun, and is slightly hotter, with aneffective temperature of 6,054K [ 6] compared to the Sun's 5,778 K. HD 166066 is significantly older, with an age of 7billion years ,[ 9] and rotates modestly with aprojected rotational velocity of 5 km/s .[ 8]
