HD 82741
Star in the constellation Lynx
HD 82741 is a single[ 8] star in the northern constellation of Lynx . It is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.81.[ 2] The distance to HD 82741 is 223 light years , as determined from its annual parallax shift of 14.6 mas .[ 1] It is moving further from the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of 1 km/s.[ 2]
At the age of 2.74[ 5] billion years, this is an evolved giant star with a stellar classification of G9.5 IIIb Fe-1 ,[ 3] where the suffix notation indicates an underabundance of iron in its atmosphere . It belongs to a sub-category of giants called the red clump , indicating that it is on the horizontal branch and is generating energy through the fusion of helium at its core .[ 9] With 1.62[ 5] times the mass of the Sun , it has expanded to 11[ 6] times the Sun's radius . It is radiating 58.9[ 5] times the Sun's luminosity from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,809 K.[ 5]
