HD 82205
Star in the constellation Antlia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
HD 82205 (HR 3770) is a solitary star[14] in the southern constellation Antlia. It is faintly visible to the naked eye with an apparent magnitude of 5.48[3] and is estimated to be 810 light years[2] distant based on parallax measurements. However, it is receding with a heliocentric radial velocity of 12 km/s.[6]

HD 82205 has a general stellar classification of K3 III, indicating that it is a red giant. However, Houk and Cowley (1982) found a slightly warmer class of K2 III CNII,[15] which also suggests a strong overabundance of cyano radicals in the stellar atmosphere. At present it has 4.46 times the mass of the Sun[7] but has expanded to 38.9 times its girth.[8] It shines with a luminosity of 552 L☉[9] from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,413 K,[8] giving an orange hue. HD 82205 has a metallicity 123% that of the Sun and is believed to be a member of the thin disk population.[10] Currently, it spins with a projected rotational velocity lower than 1 km/s.[11]
There is a 14th magnitude optical companion separated 12.4 arcseconds away along a position angle of 131°.[16] The object was first noticed by T.J.J See in 1897.[17]
