Star in the constellation Volans
HD 63584 (HR 3038) is a solitary star in the southern circumpolar constellation Volans . With an apparent magnitude of 6.15,[ 2] it is barely visible to the naked eye under ideal conditions. The star is located 420 light years [ 1] away based on parallax , but is drifting away with a radial velocity of 10.4 km/s.[ 5]
HD 63584 has a classification of "A0 IV/V",[ 3] which states it is an A0 star with the characteristics of a main sequence and subgiant star. It has 2.58 times the Sun's mass ,[ 7] but a radius around 3 times that of the Sun .[ 8] HD 63584 radiates at 60 times the Sun's luminosity [ 7] from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 9,954 K ,[ 7] which gives it the blueish-white hue of an A0 star. Despite the "IV" part of the classification, HD 63584 is only 256 million years old,[ 7] having completed only 59.6% of its main sequence lifetime.[ 7]
