HIP 94292
HIP 94292 is a G-type red giant branch star located 1351 light years from Earth in the northern constellation of Lyra. It is 1.24 times more massive than the Sun and has a radius of 5.636 solar radii.
It has a small scale magnetic field of 65 Gauss that is largely concentrated in the photosphere of the star.
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 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, 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, it radiates 18.8 times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere. Due to its higher mass of 1.24, it is further evolved than the Sun despite a similar age of billion years.
The helium core has been precisely measured to have a mass of and a radius of . As expected of RGB stars, HIP 94292 exhibits solar-like oscillations.
