KIC 11145123 (sometimes mistakenly called Kepler 11145123[9]), is a white hued star located in the northern constellation Cygnus, the swan. It has an apparent magnitude of 13.12,[2] making it readily visible in large telescopes, but not to the naked eye. The object is located relatively far at a distance of approximately 3,910 light years,[1] but is rapidly approaching the Solar System with a radial velocity of −136 km/s.[5]
KIC 11145123 has a spectral classification of F7V,[3] indicating that it is a main sequence F-type star. Atmospheric models suggest it may be hotter and possibly a late A-type star.[4] It has 1.4 times the mass of the Sun, in contrast to the 1.7 times that would be expected from a normal late A main sequence star, and 1.57 times its radius.[7] It radiates 12 times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 7,590 K.[8] Unlike most hot stars, KIC 11145123 spins exceptionally slowly with a projected rotational velocity of 1 km/s.[8] This corresponds to a period of roughly 100 days.[8] Despite appearing as a main sequence star (Gaia DR3 models it as such),[1] it is most likely a blue straggler.[10][6]
KIC 11145123 is currently believed be the roundest natural object, with the difference between equatorial and polar radii equaling a mere three kilometers.[9]
