HD 101917, also designated as HR 4509, or rarely 34 G. Chamaeleontis,[11] is a solitary star located in the southern circumpolar constellation Chamaeleon. It has an apparent magnitude of 6.38,[2] placing it near the limit for naked eye visibility. The object is located relatively close at a distance of 185 light years based on Gaia DR3 parallax measurements[1] but is receding with a heliocentric radial velocity of 33 km/s.[5] At its current distance, HD 101917's brightness is diminished by 0.28 magnitudes due to interstellar dust.[13] It has an absolute magnitude of +2.69.[6]
HD 101917 has a stellar classification of K0 III/IV,[3] indicating that it is an evolved K-type star with the blended luminosity class of a subgiant and a giant star. Gaia DR3 models it to be 3.9 billion years old,[1] enough time for it to cool and expand to 4.01 times the radius of the Sun.[8] At present it has 126% the mass of the Sun[7] and now radiates 9.04 times the luminosity of the Sun from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature 5,076 K,[9] giving it a yellow hue. HD 101917 has an iron abundance 22% below solar levels,[9] making it slightly metal deficient. It spins slowly with a projected rotational velocity lower than 1.4 km/s.[10]
