HD 76143 (HR 3537) is a high proper motion star located in the southern circumpolar constellation Volans. With an apparent magnitude of 5.33,[2] its faintly visible to the naked eye. The star is located 173 light years[1] away from the Solar System, but is drifting with a radial velocity of 40.5 km/s.[1]

Properties

HD 76143 has a classification of "F5 IV",[3] which states its a F-type star that is beginning to evolve off the main sequence. It has 40% more mass than the Sun,[6] but has 3.21[1] times the radius of the latter. It radiates at 17 solar luminosities[1] at an effective temperature of 6,544 K,[1] which gives it a yellowish-white hue. HD 76143 rotates at a high projected rotational velocity of 140 km/s,[8] which gives it an equatorial bulge 10% [8] larger than its poles. The star has a faint 12 magnitude companion separated 36.7 arcseconds apart.[9]
