HD 106248, also known as HR 4649, is a solitary, orange hued star located in the southern circumpolar constellation Chamaeleon. It has an apparent magnitude of 6.34,[2] placing it near the limit for naked eye visibility. Based on parallax measurements from Gaia DR3, the object is estimated to be 358 light years away from the Solar System.[1] It appears to be receding with a heliocentric radial velocity of 34.5 km/s.[5] At its current distance, HD 106248's brightness is diminished by 0.32 due to interstellar dust and Eggen (1993) lists it as a member of the old (thick) disk population.[14]
This is an evolved red giant with a stellar classification of K2/3 III CNII[3]—intermediate between a K2 and K3 giant star. The CNII suffix indicates that it has a strong overabundance of cyano radicals in its spectrum, making it a CN star.[15] It has 119% the mass of the Sun[7] and is estimated to be 4.31 billion years old,[1] slightly younger than the Sun. However, HD 106248 has already left the main sequence and has an enlarged radius of 10.9 R☉.[8] It radiates 49 times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere[7] at an effective temperature of 4,700 K.[10] The star has a solar metallicity and spins slowly with a projected rotational velocity lower than 1.5 km/s.[11]
