HD 146624 (d Scorpii) is a single, [3] white-hued star in the southern zodiac constellation of Scorpius. It is faintly visible to the naked eye, having an apparent visual magnitude of 4.80. [2] The distance to HD 146624 can be estimated from its annual parallax shift of 23.0 mas, [1] yielding a separation of 142 light years. At that distance, the visual magnitude is reduced by an extinction of 0.17 due to interstellar dust. [5] It is a member of the Beta Pictoris moving group, a set of ~12 million year old stars that share a common motion through space. [10]
This is an A-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of A0 V, [3] and is suspected to be chemically peculiar. [11] [6] It is a young star, just 10 [3] million years old, with a projected rotational velocity of 39 km/s. [6] The mass of the star is greater than the Sun's, with De Rosa et al. (2014) estimating 1.49 [3] times the mass of the Sun, while Zorec and Royer (2012) gives a multiplier of 2.13±0.02. [6] It has 1.60 [7] times the Sun's radius and shines with 21 times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 9,441 K. [6]
The star displays an infrared excess, suggesting a circumstellar disk of orbiting material. This has a mean temperature of 280 K, matching a disk radius of 4.20 AU. [7]
