HD 101782, also known as HR 4507, is a yellowish-orange hued star located in the southern circumpolar constellation of Chamaeleon. It has an apparent magnitude of 6.33, [2] placing it near the limit for naked eye visibility. Based on parallax measurements from Gaia DR3, the object is estimated to be 356 light years away from the Solar System. [1] It appears to be receding with a heliocentric radial velocity of 11.5 km/s. [6] De Mederios found the radial velocity to be variable, suggesting that it may be a spectroscopic binary. [12] Eggen (1989) lists it as a member of the young disk population. [11]
HD 101782 has a stellar classification of K0 III, [4] indicating that it is an evolved red giant. It is currently on the horizontal branch (HB), fusing helium at its core. [3] The star is located on the cool end of the red clump, a region on the HR diagram with metal-rich HB stars. It has double the mass of the Sun [8] but has expanded to 10.1 times its girth. [9] It radiates 55 times the luminosity of the Sun [1] from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,663 K. [10] It has an iron abundance 110% that of the Sun's, placing it at solar metallicity. [11] Like most giants it spins slowly, having a projected rotational velocity lower than 1.1 km/s. [12]
TYC 9507-3649-1 is a 10th magnitude optical companion located 25.9 ″ away along a position angle of 139°. [15] This companion was first noticed by Sir John Herschel in 1837. [16]
