HD 72108 .
HD 75063 is a single[ 10] star in the southern constellation of Vela . It has the Bayer designation of a Velorum , while HD 75063 is the identifier from the Henry Draper Catalogue . This is a naked-eye star with an apparent visual magnitude of 3.87[ 2] and has a white hue. The star is located at a distance of approximately 1,900 light-years from the Sun based on parallax measurements and has an absolute magnitude of −4.89.[ 2] It is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +23 km/s.[ 2]
This object has been stellar classifications of A1III[ 3] and A0 II,[ 4] matching a massive A-type giant or bright giant star, respectively. It is an estimated 31[ 5] million years old and is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 30 km/s.[ 8] The star has 8.6[ 5] times the mass of the Sun and around 4.5[ 6] times the Sun's radius . The star is radiating 8,670[ 2] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 8,023 K .[ 7]
