Star in the constellation Centaurus
HD 100825 is a single[ 7] star in the southern constellation of Centaurus . It has the Bayer designation C2 Centauri , while HD 100825 is the identifier from the Henry Draper catalogue . The star has a yellow-white hue and is dimly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of +5.26.[ 2] It is located at a distance of 187 light years from the Sun based on parallax , with an absolute magnitude of +1.31.[ 2] The radial velocity is poorly constrained, but the star appears to be drifting further away from the Sun at the rate of around 5 km/s.[ 2] It is a member of the Sirius supercluster of co-moving stars.[ 8]
This is an Am star [ 4] or metallic-line star with a stellar classification of F0V,[ 3] indicating it is a F-type main-sequence star that is generating energy by core hydrogen fusion . It is an estimated 467[ 5] million years old and has 1.62[ 5] times the mass of the Sun . The star is radiating 21 times the luminosity of the Sun [ 1] from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 7,737 K.[ 5]
