30 Monocerotis is a single[9] star in the equatorial constellation of Hydra,[8] located 122 light years away from the Sun.[1] It has the Bayer designation C Hydrae;[8] 30 Monocerotis is the Flamsteed designation and was assigned when it belonged to the Monoceros constellation. The object is visible to the naked eye as a white-hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of 3.90.[2] It is moving away from the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of +10 km/s.[5]
This is an A-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of A0 Va.[3] It is around 162[6] million years old with a high rate of spin, showing a projected rotational velocity of 129 km/s.[6] The star has 2.36[6] times the mass of the Sun and about 2.7[7] times the Sun's radius. It is radiating 40[4] times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 10,281 K.[6]
A statistically significant infrared excess has been detected, indicating a debris disk is orbiting 2.0±0.1 astronomical unit|AU from the host star with a blackbody temperature of 499±3 K. It is comparable in size to the asteroid belt.[10] An unexplained X-ray emission has also been detected coming from these coordinates – stars of this class are not normally expected to show X-ray emission, so it may be coming from a background source or an unseen companion.[11]
