Binary star system in the constelaltion Hydra
HR 4458 is a
binary star system in the
equatorial
constellation of
Hydra. It has the
Gould designation 289 G. Hydrae; HR 4458 is the
Bright Star Catalogue designation. At a distance of 31.13
light years, it is the closest star system to the
Solar System within this constellation. This object is visible to the naked eye as a dim, orange-hued star with an
apparent visual magnitude of 5.97.
[2] It is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentric
radial velocity of −22 km/s.
[5]
The primary component is
K-type main-sequence star with a
stellar classification of K0 V.
[3] It is around five
[11] billion years old with 84%
[7] of the
Sun's radius. The star is radiating 37%
[8] of the
Sun's luminosity from its
photosphere at an
effective temperature of 5,241 K.
[9] It has been examined for the presence of an
infrared excess, but none was detected.
[8]
There is a
common proper motion companion at an
angular separation of 16.2″,
[4] corresponding to a
projected separation of 162.5
AU.
[13] This is a
white dwarf star with a classification of DC8.
[4] The orbital period of the pair is estimated as 1,110 years.
