High proper motion star; K-type giant From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
HD 176664, also known as HR 7190 or rarely 43 G. Telescopii, is a solitary star located in the southern constellation Telescopium. It is faintly visible to the naked eye as an orange-hued star with an apparent magnitude of 5.93.[2] The object is located relatively close at a distance of 292 light years based on Gaia DR3 parallax measurements[1] but is rapidly approaching the Solar System with a heliocentric radial velocity of −60 km/s.[5] At its current distance HD 176664's brightness is diminished by two-tenths of a magnitude due to interstellar dust.[14] It has an absolute magnitude of +0.94.[6]

HD 176664 has a stellar classification of K0/1 III, indicating that it is an evolved K-type star with a spectrum intermediate of a K0 and K1 giant star. It has a comparable mass to the Sun[7] but it has expanded to 12.4 times its girth.[8] It radiates 49.9 times the luminosity of the Sun[1] from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,546 K.[9] HD 176664 is metal enriched ([Fe/H] = +0.25) and spins too slowly to be measured accurately.[11] A 1993 paper by Olin J. Eggen lists HD 176664 as a member of the Milky Way's old disk population.[10]
The star has two optical companions designated CD −51°11893B and CD −51°11893C. B is a distant 13th magnitude star located 19.4" away along a position angle of 9° while C is a 12th magnitude star located 27.5" away along a position angle of 29°.[15]
