HD 30479 (HR 1531) is a solitary star in the southern circumpolar constellation Mensa. It has an apparent magnitude of 6.04,[2] making it barely visible to the naked eye even under ideal conditions. It is located at a distance of 540 light years[1] but is receding with a heliocentric radial velocity of 10.3 km/s.[5]

HD 30479 has a stellar classification of K2 III,[3] indicating that it is an early K-type giant star and has an angular diameter of 1.01±0.07 mas[9] (after limb darkening correction). This yields a radius 17.99[7] times that of the Sun at its estimated distance. At present it has 1.28[6] times the mass of the Sun and radiates at 116[8] times the luminosity of the Sun at an effective temperature of 4,390[9] K from its enlarged photosphere, which gives it an orange glow. HD 30479 is believed to be one of the metal-deficient members of the young disk population[10] with an iron abundance of 71%[10] that of the Sun. Currently, it spins leisurely with a projected rotational velocity less than 1 km/s,[11] common for giants.
