HIP 94292, commonly referred to by its KIC designation KIC 9145955, is a red-giant branch star located in the northern constellation of Lyra.
Description
It has an apparent magnitude of 10.05, which makes it too faint to observe with the naked eye, but readily visible through a 35-mm aperture telescope. Gaia EDR3 parallax measurements place the star some 1,351 light-years (414 parsecs) distant, and it is receding with a heliocentric radial velocity of +17.4 km/s.
HIP 94292 is an evolved giant star with a spectral type of G8III. It is currently on the red-giant branch (RGB), undergoing the CNO cycle within a hydrogen shell surrounding an inert core made of helium. With a radius 5.6 times that of the Sun and an effective temperature just over 5,000 K (4,730 °C; 8,540 °F), it radiates 18.8 times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere. Due to its higher mass of 1.24 M☉, it is further evolved than the Sun despite a similar age of 4.61±0.23 billion years.
The helium core has been precisely measured to have a mass of 0.210±0.002 M☉ and a radius of 0.0307±0.0002 R☉. As expected of RGB stars, HIP 94292 exhibits solar-like oscillations.
