HD 50002 (HR 2536) is a solitary star in the southern circumpolar constellation Volans. It is faintly visible to the naked eye with an apparent magnitude of 6.09 and is located at a distance of 708 light years. However, it is drifting further with a heliocentric radial velocity of 5.1 km/s.

HD 50002 has a classification of K3 III, indicating that it is a red giant. HD 50002 has a comparable mass to the Sun, but has expanded to an enlarged radius of 27.9 R_☉. It radiates at 257 times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,444 K, giving an orange hue. HD 50002 is metal enriched, with 166% the abundance of heavy metals compared to the Sun, and has a projected rotational velocity too low to be measured accurately.
