HD 81799
Star and suspected binary system in the constellation Hydra
HD 81799 (G Hydrae ) is a suspected astrometric binary [ 8] star system in the equatorial constellation of Hydra . It is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.69.[ 2] The distance to this system, as determined from an annual parallax shift of 19.9 mas ,[ 1] is 164 light years . It is moving further away from the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of 29 km/s.[ 1] The system has a relatively high rate of proper motion , traversing the celestial sphere at the rate of 233± 19 mas/yr along a position angle of 136°.[ 9]
The stellar classification of the visible component is K2+ IIIb,[ 3] which matches an evolved K-type giant star . It is a red clump star, which indicates it is on the horizontal branch and is generating energy through helium fusion at its core .[ 4] The interferometry -measured angular diameter of the primary, after correcting for limb darkening , is 1.96± 0.03 mas ,[ 10] which, at its estimated distance, equates to a physical radius of about 10.6 times the radius of the Sun .[ 6] It is radiating 42[ 5] times the Sun's luminosity from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,490 K.[ 2]
The system is a likely (99.4% chance) source of the X-ray emission coming from these coordinates.[ 11]
