Star in the constellation Columba
HR 2131 (HD 41047 ) is a solitary[ 12] star in the southern constellation Columba . It has an apparent magnitude of 5.52,[ 2] allowing it to be faintly seen with the naked eye . The object is located at a distance of 670 light years [ 1] but is receding with a heliocentric radial velocity of 19 km/s .[ 5]
HR 2131 has a stellar classification of K5 III,[ 3] indicating that it is a red giant . It has 1.81 times the mass of the Sun and is 2.19 billion years old.[ 7] The star's high luminosity of 501 L ☉ [ 7] and a low effective temperature of 3,700 K [ 10] causes it to have an enlarged radius 49 times that of the Sun .[ 8] HR 2131's metallicity – elements heavier than helium – is around solar level;[ 10] it spins with a projected rotational velocity of about 2.6 km/s .[ 11]
