5 Vulpeculae is a single,[9] white-hued star in the northern constellation of Vulpecula.[8] It is situated amidst a random concentration of bright stars designated Collinder 399,[10] or Brocchi's Cluster. This is a faint star that is just visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.60.[4] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 13.8921±0.0900 mas,[1] it is located around 235 light years from the Sun. It is moving closer with a heliocentric radial velocity of −21 km/s,[4] and will make its closest approach in 2.5 million years at a separation of around 120 ly (36.89 pc).[5]
This is a young A-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of A0 V.[3] It is a rapidly rotating star[11] with a projected rotational velocity of 154 km/s.[3] The star has an estimated 2.33[3] times the mass of the Sun and about 2.7[6] times the Sun's radius. It is radiating 34 times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 8,940 K.[3]
A warm debris disk was detected by the Spitzer Space Telescope at a temperature of 206 K (−89 °F; −67 °C), orbiting 13 Astronomical units from the host star.[12] Although this finding has not been directly detected, the emission signature indicates the disk is in the form of a thin ring. The emission displays weak transient absorption features that are indicative of kilometer-sized exocomets that are undergoing evaporation as they approach the host star.[11] These absorption features have been observed to vary on time scales of hours, days, or months.[13]
