Double star in the constellation Mensa
HD 23474 (HR 1154 ) is a double star [ 13] in the southern circumpolar constellation Mensa . It has an apparent magnitude of 6.30, placing it near the max naked eye visibility. The system is situated at a distance of about 750 light years and is currently receding with a heliocentric radial velocity of 2.4 km/s .
As of 2018, the pair have a separation of 0.2 arcseconds along a position angle of 92° .[ 13]
The primary or visible component has a stellar classification of K2 III, indicating that it is a red giant . As a result, it has expanded to a diameter of 33.51 R ☉ [ 8] and has an effective temperature of 4,556 K ,[ 9] giving an orange hue. It has 121% the mass of the Sun and shines with a luminosity of 227 L ☉ [ 9] from its enlarged photosphere . HD 23474 spins with a poorly constrained projected rotational velocity of 1.2 km/s [ 10] and has a metallicity around solar level.[ 7]
