HD 47500

HD 47500, also known as HR 2446, is a binary star[15] in the southern constellation Columba. The primary has an apparent magnitude of 5.91,[1] making it faintly visible to the naked eye if viewed under ideal conditions. As for the companion, its visual magnitude is 7.51.[1] The system is located relatively far at a distance of 1,120 light years based on parallax measurements,[6] and is receding with a heliocentric radial velocity of 21 km/s.[5]

The binary nature of this system was first discovered by Richard Alfred Rossiter in 1942.[16] Their current separation is half of an arcsecond, making it difficult to measure the components properties. Nevertheless, the secondary component is located along a position angle of 4° as of 1999.[17]

HD 47500 has a stellar classification of B6 IV-V,[3] a B-type star with a luminosity class intermediate between a subgiant and main sequence star. Hube (1970) gave the primary a slightly cooler class of B7 III,[18] indicating that it is already a giant star, while Houk (1982) gave it a class of B5/7 IV,[19] intermediate between a B5 and B7 subgiant. Nevertheless, it is estimated to be 34 million years old, having completed 98.5% of its main sequence lifetime.[2] HD 47500 A has 5.01 times the mass of the Sun[8] and an enlarged radius of 7.33 R☉.[9] It radiates 1,482 times the luminosity of the Sun.[2] from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 14,703 K,[11] giving it a bluish-white hue. Unlike most hot stars, the object spins modestly with a projected rotational velocity of 36 km/s.[12]
