HD 10550 is a single[8] star in the equatorial constellation of Cetus. It is a faint star but visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.98.[2] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 2.9564 mas,[1] it is located around 1,100 light years from the Sun. The star is moving closer with a heliocentric radial velocity of −33 km/s.[1] It has a high peculiar velocity of 72.7+5.7
−4.3
 km/s
and may be a runaway star.[9]

The stellar classification of this star is K2/3 III CN II,[3] showing the spectrum of an evolved K-type giant star with an overabundance of CN in the atmosphere. The measured angular diameter of this star, after correction for limb darkening, is 2.11±0.04 mas.[10] At the estimated distance of this star, this yields a physical size of about 77 times the radius of the Sun.[4] The star is radiating around 2,537[2] times the Sun's luminosity from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,110 K.[5]
