Properties

HD 50002 has a classification of K3 III, which states that it is a giant star that has exhausted hydrogen at its core and left the main sequence. HD 50002 has a comparable mass to the Sun, but has expanded to 28.1 times the Sun's radius. It radiates at 256 solar luminosities from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,354 K. HD 50002 is slightly metal deficient, with 89% the abundance of heavy metals compared to the Sun. The star has a rotational velocity too low to be measured accurately.
