HD 78004 .
HR 3407 is a single[ 10] star in the southernconstellation ofVela . It has theBayer designation C Velorum ;HR 3407 is the designation in theBright Star Catalogue [ 9] apparent visual magnitude of 5.01.[ 2] light years based onparallax measurements, and it is drifting further away with aradial velocity of 4 km/s.[ 1]
This object is an agingK-type supergiant star with astellar classification of K1.5Ib.[ 3] [ 6] mass of the Sun and has expanded to around 71[ 1] Sun's radius . The latter is equivalent to 0.33 AU , or about one third the distance from the Sun to the Earth. It is spinning with aprojected rotational velocity of 4.1.[ 8] [ 4] luminosity of the Sun from its enlargedphotosphere at aneffective temperature of 4,324 K.[ 1]
