Star in the constellation Vela
This article is about a Velorum. For A Velorum, see HD 72108 .
HD 75063 is a single star in the southern constellation of Vela . It has the Bayer designation of a Velorum , while HD 75063 is the identifier from the Henry Draper Catalogue . This is a naked-eye star with an apparent visual magnitude of 3.87 and has a white hue. The star is located at a distance of approximately 1,900 light-years from the Sun based on parallax measurements and has an absolute magnitude of −4.89. It is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +23 km/s.
This object has been stellar classifications of A1III and A0 II, matching a massive A-type giant or bright giant star, respectively. It is an estimated 31 million years old and is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 30 km/s. The star has 8.6 times the mass of the Sun and around 4.5 times the Sun's radius . The star is radiating 8,670 times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 8,023 K .
