Star in the constellation of Octans
HD 210056 , also known asHR 8432 , is a solitary orange huedstar located in the southerncircumpolar constellation Octans . Eggen (1993) listed it as a member of the old disk population.[ 12]
The object has anapparent magnitude of 6.13,[ 2] making it barely visible to thenaked eye . Based onparallax measurements from theGaia satellite , the object is estimated to be 292light years distant.[ 1] It appears to be receding with a heliocentricradial velocity of 24 km/s .[ 5] At its current distance, HD 210056's brightness is diminished by 0.2magnitudes due to interstellar dust. It has anabsolute magnitude of +1.41.[ 13]
This is an evolvedgiant star with astellar classification of K0 III. It has 1.59 times themass of the Sun but has expanded to 7.72 times itsgirth .[ 7] It radiates 29.7 times theluminosity of the Sun from its enlargedphotosphere at aneffective temperature of 4,849 K .[ 7] Based onasteroseismologic measurements, HD 210056 is estimated to be 2billion years old.[ 9] The star has about 90% of theSun 'smetallicity — whatastronomers define a star's abundance ofchemical elements heavier thanhelium .[ 7] It currently spins slowly with aprojected rotational velocity lower than 1.5 km/s .[ 9]
