High proper motion star: Class K
HD 222060 , also known as HR 8957 , is a solitary, orange hued star located in the southern circumpolar constellation Octans . It has an apparent magnitude of 5.98,[ 2] allowing it to be faintly visible to the naked eye . Based on parallax measurements from GAIA , the object is estimated to be 536 light years distant.[ 1] It appears to be slowly receding from the Solar System , having a heliocentric radial velocity of 2.3 km/s .[ 9]
This is an evolved giant star that is currently on the red giant branch ,[ 3] fusing a hydrogen shell around a helium core. HD 222060 a stellar classification of K0 II/III,[ 4] a K-type star with the blended luminosity class of a giant and a bright giant . It has 3.2 times the mass of the Sun [ 8] and is currently 318 million years old.[ 9] Due to its high mass, the object has expanded to an enlarged radius of 12.6 R ☉ .[ 8] It radiates 102 times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,175 K .[ 8] HD 222060 has a near solar metallicity [ 8] and spins modestly with a projected rotational velocity of 3.7 km/s .[ 9]
