HD 170773
F-type star with a debris disk.
HD 170773 (HR 6948; 14 G. Coronae Australis ) is a solitary star located in the southern constellation Corona Australis . It has an apparent magnitude of 6.22,[ 2] placing it near the limit for naked eye visibility, even under ideal conditions . The object is located relatively close at a distance of 120 light-years based on Gaia DR3 parallax measurements[ 1] and it is drifting closer with a heliocentric radial velocity of −25.2 km/s .[ 6] At its current distance, HD 170773's brightness is diminished by an interstellar extinction of 0.19 magnitudes [ 15] and it has an absolute magnitude of +3.38.[ 7]
HD 170773 has a stellar classification of F5 V,[ 3] [ 4] indicating that it is an ordinary F-type main-sequence star that is generating energy via hydrogen fusion at its core . It has also been given a classification of F5 IV, indicating that it is a slightly evolved subgiant that is ceasing hydrogen fusion at its core. It has 1.30 times the mass of the Sun [ 8] and 1.43 times the radius of the Sun .[ 9] It radiates 3.62 times the luminosity of the Sun [ 1] from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 6,694 K ,[ 11] giving it the typical yellowish-white hue of a F-type star . HD 170773 has a near solar metallicity of [Fe/H] = −0.02[ 12] and it is estimated to be 1.5 billion years old.[ 10] It spins fairly quickly with a projected rotational velocity of 67.2 km/s .[ 13]
The star has a debris disk located 78 AU away and it has a temperature of 43 K.[ 16] It was first observed in 1986 by astronomers K. Sakadane and M. Nishida in their survey of Vega -like stars due to the star displaying an infrared excess that could suggest the presence of a circumstellar disk .[ 17] However, the actual disk was not discovered until 2004 using the Spitzer Space Telescope .[ 18] There might be a second cooler disk surrounding the star, but subsequent observations have not confirmed this.[ 16]
