HD 143787 is a single[8] star in the southern constellation of Scorpius. It is a fifth magnitude star – apparent visual magnitude of 4.973,[3] and hence is visible to the unaided eye. The distance to HD 143787 can be estimated from its annual parallax shift of 14.4 mas,[2] yielding a separation of 227 light years. It is moving closer to Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of −37.9 km/s,[2] and should come within 106.4 ly in 1.2 million years.[9]
This is an evolved giant star with a stellar classification of K3 III.[4] It is a red clump giant, which means it is on the horizontal branch and is generating energy through helium fusion at its core.[3] At the age of 4.46 billion years,[4] it has 1.25 times the mass of the Sun[4] and is radiating 61.7 times the Sun's luminosity[4] from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,370 K.[4]
