HR 4180 is a double star with components HD 92449 and HD 92463 in the southern constellation of Vela . They are probably members of a binary star system.[ 10] HR 4180 can be viewed with the naked eye, having an apparent visual magnitude of 4.29.[ 1] Based upon the annual parallax shift of the two stars it is located approximately 780 light years from the Sun.[ 2] [ 3] The system is moving further from the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of +20 km/s.[ 7]
The primary component of this system, HD 92449, is a bright giant with a stellar classification of G5 IIa.[ 5] The star is estimated to have 3.4 times the mass of the Sun and 48 times the Sun's radius . It radiates 1,340 times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,180 K.[ 9] [ 8]
The secondary is the common proper motion HD 92463,[ 11] of apparent magnitude 6.06.[ 4] The pair likely form a binary system.[ 10] This secondary component is a B-type main-sequence star with a class of B8 V,[ 6] and has an estimated 3.8 times the mass, 3.9 times the radius, and 308 times the Sun's luminosity.[ 3] As of 2000, it had an angular separation of 51.70″ along a position angle of 105° from the primary.[ 4]
