HD 123569
Star in the constellation Centaurus
HD 123569 is a single[ 6] star in the southern constellation of Centaurus , positioned near the eastern constellation border with Lupus . This object has a yellowish hue and is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.74.[ 2] It is located at a distance of approximately 176 light years from the Sun based on parallax , and it has an absolute magnitude of +1.00.[ 1] The star is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −17 km/s.[ 1] O. J. Eggen flagged this star as a member of the Hyades Supercluster .[ 7]
This is an aging giant star with a stellar classification of G9-III,[ 3] having exhausted the supply of hydrogen at its core then evolved off the main sequence by cooling and expanding. At present it has around 8.25[ 1] times the girth of the Sun , with a slightly higher than solar metallicity – what astronomers term the abundance of elements with a higher atomic number than helium.[ 4] The star is radiating 40 times the luminosity of the Sun from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 5089 K.[ 1]
