HD 166066
Star in the constellation Octans
HD 166066 is a solitary star located in the southern circumpolar constellation Octans . It has an apparent magnitude of 8.10,[ 2] making it readily visible in binoculars, but not to the naked eye . The object is located 223 light years away from the Solar System ,[ 1] but is drifting away with a poorly constrained radial velocity of about 2.93 km/s .[ 4]
HD 166066 has a stellar classification of G0 V, indicating that it is a G-type main sequence star similar to the Sun .[ 3] However, the calcium H & K lines are narrow and weak for its class.[ 3] It has 113% the mass of the Sun [ 6] and 139% its radius, along with twice its luminosity .[ 5] [ 7]
The iron abundance is 93% that of the Sun, and is slightly hotter, with an effective temperature of 6,054 K [ 6] compared to the Sun's 5,778 K. HD 166066 is significantly older, with an age of 7 billion years ,[ 9] and rotates modestly with a projected rotational velocity of 5 km/s .[ 8]
