Characteristics
It is an evolved blue giant star with a spectral type of B8III.[ 1] It radiates about 219 times the solar luminosity by its photosphere at an effective temperature of 12,300 K.[ 8] Its uniform disk angular diameter is measured at 0.153 milliarcseconds .[ 7] At the estimated distance by Gaia EDR3, it yields a physical size of 4.696 R ☉ . The star has a mass of 5.644 M ☉ [ 6] and rotates under its own axis at a speed of 25 km/s.[ 9]
HD 37320 is located within the constellation Orion, based on its astronomical coordinates .[ a] The distance to the star is 285.5 parsecs (931 light-years ), based on a parallax of 3.5025 mas from Gaia EDR3 .[ 2] The apparent magnitude of the star, i.e. its brightness as seen from Earth, is of 5.852m ,[ 1] which is above the limiting magnitude for naked-eye vision, generally defined as 6.5m , making it faintly visible to the naked eye .[ 3] The absolute magnitude of HD 37320, i.e. its brightness if it was seen at 10 parsecs (32.6 ly), is -1.43.[ 5] It is moving away from Earth at a velocity of 20.1 km/s.[ 4]
HD 37320 is the Henry Draper Catalogue designation for this star. Other designations include HR 1920 from the Bright Star Catalogue , HIP 26487 from the Hipparcos Catalogue and BD+07 953 from the Bonner Durchmusterung catalogue.[ 1]
