Star in the constellation Telescopium From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
HD 193307 (HR 7766; Gliese 9691) is the primary of a binary star located the southern constellation Telescopium. It has an apparent magnitude of 6.27,[2] placing it near the limit for naked eye visibility, even under ideal conditions. The star is located relatively close at a distance of 102 light years based on Gaia DR3 parallax measurements,[1] but it is receding with a heliocentric radial velocity of 16.9 km/s.[7] At its current distance, HD 193307's brightness is diminished by 0.18 magnitudes due to extinction from interstellar dust[18] and it has an absolute magnitude of +3.80.[8] HD 193307 has a relatively high proper motion, moving at a rate of 437 mas/yr.[19]

There has been disagreements in the stellar classification of the object. Two sources give a class of F9 V,[5] indicating that it is an ordinary F-type main-sequence star. David Stanley Evans gave it a slightly more evolved class of G2 IV-V,[20] meaning that it is a G-type star with a luminosity class intermediate between a subgiant and main sequence star. Nancy Houk's spectral classification catalog lists HD 193307 as G0 V.[21]
The accepted class for HD 193307 is F9 V.[5] The object's current luminosity is 1.49 magnitudes above the ZAMS, indicating that HD 193307 is somewhat evolved.[22] has 1.15 times the Sun's mass and a slightly enlarged radius of 1.49 R☉.[11] It radiates 2.61 times the luminosity of the Sun[1] from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 6,059 K,[13] which gives it the typical whitish-yellow hue of a late F-type star. At the age of 7.55 billion years,[12] HD 193307 has nearly twice the Sun's age. The star is metal-deficient with an iron abundance 46% that of the Sun ([Fe/H] = −0.34)[14] and it spins slowly with a projected rotational velocity lower than 5 km/s.[15]
WT 703 is a 12th magnitude star located 21.3" away along a position angle of 300°. It has a class of M2.5, indicating that it is a M-type star.[4] WT 703 is located around the same distance as HD 193307 and it has a similar proper motion.
