HD 76236

HD 76236, also designated as HR 3543 or rarely 11 G. Chamaeleontis,^[12] is a solitary star^[14] located in the southern circumpolar constellation Chamaeleon. It is faintly visible to the naked eye as an orange-hued star with an apparent magnitude of 5.77.^[2] Based on parallax measurements from the Gaia satellite, the object is estimated to be 612 light years away.^[1] Currently, it is receding with a heliocentric radial velocity of 7 km/s.^[5] At its current distance, HD 76236's brightness is diminished by 0.39 magnitudes due to interstellar dust.^[15] It has an absolute magnitude of −0.13.^[6]

This is an evolved red giant with a stellar classification K5 III.^[3] It has 1.78 times the mass of the Sun^[7] and an enlarged radius of 53.1 R_☉.^[8] It radiates 950 times the luminosity of the Sun^[1] from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 3,989 K.^[10] HD 76236 has an iron abundance nearly twice of the Sun's,^[9] making it metal enriched. It spins modestly with a projected rotational velocity of 3 km/s. An infrared excess has been detected around HD 76236, indicating that the star may have a circumstellar disk.^[16][17]
