HD 33266 is an A-type star with 2.45 times the mass of the Sun and 3.14 times the radius of the Sun.[7] It shines at 49.7 L from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 8,952 K,[8] giving it a white glow. Due to HD 33266 being an Am star,[3] it spins slowly with a projected rotational velocity of 15 km/s[10] at an age of 340 million years.[9] Its metallicity − elements heavier than helium − is at solar level.[9]

Note edit

  1. ^ Despite it being referenced as either A2 III or IV, this is actually an Am main sequence star.
