HD 203842

HD 203842 (HR 8191) is a solitary star in the constellation Equuleus. With an apparent magnitude of 6.32, it's barely visible to the naked eye under ideal conditions. The star is located 327 light-years (100 parsecs) based on parallax, but is drifting closer with a heliocentric radial velocity of −33 km/s. HD 203842 is part of the Hyades Stream,[8] which is not related to the Hyades Cluster.

HD 203842 has 1.85 times the Sun's mass, but at an age of 1.25 billion years, has expanded to 4 times the Sun's radius. It radiates at 24 times the Sun's luminosity from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 6,333 K. Despite it being classified as a giant star, it has a projected rotational velocity of 50 km/s, and 120% the abundance of heavy metals compared to the Sun.
