HD 162337
Distant K-type giant; Apus
HD 162337 , also known as HR 6646 or rarely 65 G. Apodis , is a solitary orange-hued star located in the southern circumpolar constellation Apus . It has an apparent magnitude of 6.35,[ 2] placing it near the limit for naked eye visibility, even under ideal conditions. The object is located relatively far at a distance of 989 light-years based on Gaia DR3 parallax measurements,[ 1] but it is drifting closer with a heliocentric radial velocity of −3.3 km/s .[ 5] At its current distance, HD 162337's brightness is heavily diminished by 0.45 magnitudes due to interstellar extinction [ 13] and it has an absolute magnitude of −0.61.[ 6]
HD 162337 has a stellar classification of K3/4 III,[ 3] indicating that it is an evolved star with the characteristics of a K3 and K4 giant star . It has expanded to 42 times the radius of the Sun [ 7] and now radiates 495 times the luminosity of the Sun [ 7] from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,186 K .[ 9] However, Gaia DR3 stellar evolution models give a larger radius of 67.8± 1.6 R ☉ [ 1] and a higher luminosity of 1,055+28 −27 L ☉ .[ 1] HD 162337 is metal deficient with an iron abundance 21.9% that of the Sun 's ([Fe/H] = −0.66)[ 8] and it spins too slowly for its projected rotational velocity to measured accurately.[ 10]
