HD 283750, also known as V833 Tauri, is a K-type main-sequence star 57 light-years away from the Sun. The star is much younger than the Sun's at 1 billion years.[8] HD 283750 is similar to the Sun in its concentration of heavy elements.[6]
The star has a co-moving white dwarf companion WD 0443+270 at a projected separation of 124″,[9] both possibly ejected members of the Hyades cluster. The white dwarf companion has a rather exotic iron core[8] and belongs to spectral class DA9 and has the mass of 0.62±0.02M☉.[10]
Although HD 283750 was classified as a multi-period variable,[11] a paper in 2020 claims its variability is not exceeding the variability of the Sun, and no period can be identified.[12]
HD 283750 is covered by a large amount of starspots, filling up to 28% of the stellar surface at the maxima of the magnetic cycle.[13] In November 1993, the star emitted an extremely powerful flare with energy of 7.47×1034 ergs, which is on or even above the upper limit of possible energy releases in flare stars.[11] The flares of HD 283750 are accompanied by particle beams strong enough to affect the polarization properties of the stellar photosphere.[14]
Suspected substellar companion
In 1996 a suspected 50-MJ brown dwarf HD 283750b on a 1.79-day orbit around HD 283750 was detected by the differential Doppler spectroscopy method. By 2007, the mass of the companion was refined to 0.19M☉, making it a red dwarf star.[15]
