HD 125072
Star in the constellation Centaurus
HD 125072 is a star in the southern constellation of Centaurus . It is a challenge to view with the naked eye, having an apparent visual magnitude of 6.637.[ 2] The star is located at a distance of 38.6 light years from the Sun based on parallax .[ 1] It is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −14.9 km/s.[ 5] The components of the space velocity for this star are U=−18.5, V=−6.9 and W=−26.9 km/s.[ 7]
The stellar classification of this star is K3 IV,[ 3] matching a K-type subgiant that is evolving into a giant . It has 81%[ 6] of the Sun's mass and 83%[ 1] of the radius of the Sun . The star is radiating 34.7% of the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,858 K.[ 1] Based on the composition and kinematics of this star, it has an estimated age of about 10 billion years.[ 7] It is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 4 km/s.[ 8]
