HD 89998 (r Velorum) is a single[8] star in the southern constellation of Vela. It is a faint star but visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.82.[2] The distance to HD 89998, as determined from its annual parallax shift of 15.9 mas,[1] is 205 light years. The star is moving further from the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of +21 km/s,[4] having come within 140 ly some 1.552 million years ago.[2]
This is an evolved giant star with a stellar classification of K1 III.[3] The measured angular diameter of this star, after correcting for limb darkening, is 1.72±0.02 mas.[9] At the estimated distance of this star, this yields a physical size of 11.6 times the radius of the Sun.[5] It is radiating 54[6] times the Sun's luminosity from its enlarged photosphere at en effective temperature of 4,812 K.[6]
