Star in the constellation Monoceros
19 Monocerotis is a single,[ 12] variable star [ 5] in the equatorial constellation of Monoceros , located approximately 1,220 light years away from the Sun based on parallax .[ 1] It has the variable star designation V637 Monocerotis , while 19 Monocerotis is the Flamsteed designation . This object is visible to the naked eye as a faint, blue-white hued star with a baseline apparent visual magnitude of 5.00.[ 2] It is receding from the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of +25 km/s.[ 6]

This massive, B-type main-sequence star has a stellar classification of B1 V.[ 4] It is a Beta Cephei variable , ranging from 5.01 to 4.96 magnitude with a period of 0.19 days.[ 5] Closer examination shows there are three frequencies present, consisting of 5.22994, 0.17017, and 4.88956 cycles per day.[ 9] At one point it was thought to be a marginal Be star , but this was not confirmed.[ 9] The star is spinning rapidly with a projected rotational velocity of 274 km/s.[ 9] It has 12.3[ 8] times the mass of the Sun and is radiating 4,817[ 7] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 25,400 K.[ 11]
