HD 145250 is a star in the constellation of Scorpius. At an apparent magnitude of +5.13, it is faintly visible to the naked eye in locations far from light pollution. Parallax measurements give a distance of 283 light-years. The star is inside the Upper Scorpius subgroup of the Scorpius–Centaurus association,[1] but is not a member.[8]
The spectrum of this star matches a spectral class of K0 III,[4] with the luminosity class III indicating it is a giant star that has exhausted the hydrogen at its core. It is currently fusing hydrogen in a shell around the core, being in the evolutionary stage known as the red-giant branch. HD 145250 displays photometric variability caused by seismic oscillations, and has been studied using asteroseismology to determine its physical properties. The star has a mass 1.38 times the mass of the Sun and has expanded to 16 times the Sun's radius. It now radiates 86 times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere[1] at an effective temperature of 4,540 K.[6] This temperature give it the orangish hue typical of a K-type star.[9]
While no companion star has been detected,[10] its proper motions derived by the Hipparcos and Gaia satellites are slightly different, suggesting it may be an astrometric binary with a low-mass companion.[11][1]
