Star in the constellation Columba
HD 40091 , also known as HR 2082 , is a solitary star [ 15] located in the southern constellation Columba , the dove. It has an apparent magnitude of 5.54,[ 3] making it faintly visible to the naked eye under ideal conditions. Based on parallax measurements from the Gaia spacecraft , the object is estimated to be 501 light years distant.[ 2] However, it is rapidly receding with a high heliocentric radial velocity of 114 km/s .[ 7]
This is an evolved red giant with a stellar classification of M0 III.[ 4] It has 121% the mass of the Sun [ 9] but has expanded to 52.43 times its girth .[ 10] It radiates 392 times the luminosity of the Sun [ 11] from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 3,969 K ,[ 12] giving it a red hue. HD 40091 is slightly metal enriched, having an iron abundance 38% above solar levels. [ 9]
HD 40091 is found to vary between 5.64 and 5.68 in the Hipparcos passband , but it is not confirmed to be a variable star . Therefore, it is catalogued in the GCVS as a suspected variable.[ 6]
