B-type main-sequence star; Triangulum From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
HD 10390 (HR 490; 51 H. Trinaguli) is a solitary star[17] located in the northern constellation Triangulum. It is faintly visible to the naked eye as a bluish-white hued point of light with an apparent magnitude of 5.64.[2] The object is located relatively close at a distance of 292 light-years based on Gaia DR3 parallax measurements[1] and it is drifting closer with a heliocentric radial velocity of −1.9 km/s.[6] At its current distance, HD 10390's brightness is diminished by an interstellar extinction of only five-hundredths of a magnitude[18] and it has an absolute magnitude of +1.00.[7]

HD 10390 has a stellar classification of B9 IV-V,[4] indicating that it is a slightly evolved B-type star with a luminosity class intermediate between a subgiant and a main sequence star. Osawa (1959) gave a class of B9 V,[5] instead indicating that it is an ordinary B-type main-sequence star that is generating energy via hydrogen fusion at its core. It has 2.62 times the mass of the Sun[8] and 2.14 times the radius of the Sun.[9] It radiates 51.5 times the luminosity of the Sun[3] from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 11,076 K.[11] HD 10390 is metal defecient with an iron abundance of [Fe/H] = −0.2 or 63.1% of the Sun's[12] and it spins modestly with a projected rotational velocity of 45 km/s,[13] well below its breakup velocity of 355 km/s.[19] Despite the first classification, HD 10390 has only completed 16.8% of its main sequence lifetime[3] at the age of approximately 50 million years.
