HD 93385
HD 93385 is a star in the southern constellation of Vela. At an apparent visual magnitude of 7.5, it is too faint to be seen with the unaided eye. Parallax measurements made using the Gaia spacecraft show an annual shift of. This is equivalent to a physical separation of around 141 light years from the Sun. It is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +47.8 km/s.
This is an ordinary G-type main sequence star with a stellar classification of G2/G3 V. The physical properties of HD 93385 are similar to those of the Sun; it is slightly larger with 107% of the Sun's mass, 117% of the radius, and 142% of the luminosity. The abundance of elements, other than hydrogen and helium, is nearly the same as in the Sun. It is currently at an unusual low level of surface activity and thus is a candidate Maunder minimum analog.
A physical companion star with an apparent visual magnitude of 12.29 is located at an angular separation of 10.32 arcseconds along a position angle of 288°. It is estimated to have 45% of the mass of the Sun. A 2015 survey ruled out the existence of any additional stellar companions at projected distances from 12 to 352 astronomical units.
