HD 50281 is a star in the equatorial constellation of Monoceros. It is orange in hue with an apparent visual magnitude of 6.58,[2] which lies at or below the typical limit of visibility to the naked eye. The star is located at a distance of 28.5 light years from the Sun based on parallax, but is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −7.2 km/s.[4]
This object is an ordinary K-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of K3.5 V.[3] It is nearly two billion years old and is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 5.5 km/s.[6] The metallicity of this star – what astronomers term the abundance of elements with atomic numbers greater than helium – is near solar. The star has 79%[6] of the mass of the Sun and 73%[1] of the Sun's radius. It is radiating 22.5%[1] of the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,712 K.[7]
A magnitude 10.16 common proper motion companion,[10] designated component B, is located at an angular separation of 58.8″ along a position angle of 181° from the primary, as of 2015.[10] This is a suspected binary star system[11] with components of individual visual magnitude 10.6 and 11.1,[10] and a class of M2.5 V.[12] The coordinates of this companion are a source of X-ray emission.[13] A third companion, magnitude 14.04 component C, lies at a separation of 9.6″ from component B.[10]
