HD 66920

Summary

HD 66920, also known as HR 3171, is a solitary, white hued star located in the southern circumpolar constellation Volans, the flying fish. It has an apparent magnitude of 6.33,[2] placing it near the limit for naked eye visibility. Based on parallax measurements from the Gaia spacecraft, the star is estimated to be 428 light years distant.[1] It appears to be receding from the Solar System, having a heliocentric radial velocity of 23.8 km/s.[5] Pauzen et al. (2001) listed it as a λ Boötis star,[3] but is now considered a non member.[14]

HD 66920 has a classification of A3 V,[3] indicating that it is an ordinary A-type main-sequence star. Although it has been classified as a giant star (III),[15] HR 3171 is still on the main sequence[1] (according to Gaia DR3 models). It has 2.33 times the mass of the Sun and an enlarged radius of 3.53 R☉.[8] It radiates 42 times the luminosity of the Sun[9] from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 8,247 K.[10] HD 66920 has a solar metallicity,[11] and is estimated to be 711 million years old.[1]
