Star in the constellation of Octans
HD 167714 , also known as HR 6837 , is a solitary, orange hued star located in the southern circumpolar constellation Octans . It has apparent magnitude of 5.95,[ 2] allowing it to be faintly visible to the naked eye . Based on parallax measurements from Gaia , the object is estimated to be 359 light years distant.[ 1] With a heliocentric radial velocity of −13.9 km/s ,[ 6] it is approaching the Solar System .
This is an evolved red giant with a stellar classification of K2 III.[ 4] It appears to be on the red giant branch ,[ 3] generating energy by fusing a hydrogen shell around an inert helium core. At present it has 1.4 times the mass of the Sun [ 8] and at the age of two billion years ,[ 10] it has expanded to 12.3 times its girth .[ 9] It shines with a luminosity 65 times greater than that of the Sun [ 8] from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,692 K .[ 9] HD 167714 has a near-solar metallicity [ 10] and is spinning slowly with a projected rotational velocity of 1.7 km/s .[ 11]
