HD 49947
Star in the constellation of Volans
HD 49947 (HR 2531 ) is a solitary star in the southern circumpolar constellation Volans . It has an apparent magnitude of 6.36, placing it near the max naked eye visibility. Parallax measurements place the object at a distance of 459 light years but is receding with a heliocentric radial velocity of 15.88 km/s
HD 49947 has a stellar classification of G8 III[ 4] and is a red clump giant, meaning that it is located on the warm end of the horizontal branch .[ 3] At present it has double the mass of the Sun [ 7] and at an age of 1.27 billion years ,[ 9] has expanded to an enlarged radius of 10.33 solar radii .[ 7] It radiates at 61 times the luminosity of the Sun from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,964 K ,[ 7] giving a yellow hue. HD 49947 is metal deficient with an iron abundance 68% that of Sun [ 7] and spins very slowly.[ 8]
