HD 85945 (HR 3922) is a star in the constellation Ursa Major. It is a yellow giant star with a spectral type of G6III:Fe-0.5. Based on information from Gaia DR3, it is located 132.54 parsecs (432.3 ly) from Earth and is moving towards Earth at a velocity of 47 km/s. It has an apparent magnitude of 5.96, which makes it faintly visible to the naked eye.

Characteristics

It is an evolved G-type giant star, based on its spectral type of G6III:Fe-0.5, which also indicates that is has a [Fe/H] metallicity of -0.5.[1] HD 85945 is 2.5 times more massive than the Sun and has expanded to 10.28 times the Sun's size.[2][6] It is emitting 78 times the solar luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,281 K.[7][6] Currently, the star is located in the horizontal branch stage of evolution.[2] The age of HD 85945 is estimated at 660 million years,[2] and it rotates under its axis at a speed of 7.53 km/s.[3] It is slightly metal-poor compared to the Sun, with an abudance of iron equivalent to 40% of the solar abundance.[7][d]

HD 85945 is located within the Ursa Major constellation, based on its celestial coordinates.[a] The distance to HD 85945 is of 132.54 parsecs (432.3 ly), based on spectra from Gaia DR3.[4] The apparent magnitude of the star is of 5.96,[1] which is brighter than the limiting magnitude for naked-eye vision (6.5m), making it faintly visible to the naked eye.[8] The absolute magnitude, i.e. the brightness of the star if it was seen at a distance of 10 parsecs (32.6 ly), is 0.32.[5] At the current distance, its brightness is diminished by 0.03 magnitudes due to interstellar extinction between Earth and the star.[6] HD 85945 is moving away from Earth at a velocity of 46.55 km/s.[4] It has a high proper motion in the sky.[6][1]
