Single star in the constellation Lyra
HD 176527 is a single[ 6] star in the northern constellation of Lyra , positioned near the southern constellation border with Vulpecula . It has an orange hue and is dimly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.26.[ 2] This object is located at a distance of approximately 266 light years from the Sun based on parallax ,[ 1] and it has an absolute magnitude of 0.28.[ 2] It is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −22.6 km/s.[ 1]
This is an aging giant star with a stellar classification of K2III,[ 3] which indicates it has exhausted the supply of hydrogen at its core , then evolved away from the main sequence by cooling and expanding. At present it has 20[ 1] times the radius of the Sun . The star is radiating 128[ 1] times the luminosity of the Sun from its swollen photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,325 K.[ 1]
