HD 82741 is a single[8] star in the northern constellation of Lynx. It is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.81.[2] The distance to HD 82741 is 223 light years, as determined from its annual parallax shift of 14.6 mas.[1] It is moving further from the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of 1 km/s.[2]

At the age of 2.74[5] billion years, this is an evolved giant star with a stellar classification of G9.5 IIIb Fe-1,[3] where the suffix notation indicates an underabundance of iron in its atmosphere. It belongs to a sub-category of giants called the red clump, indicating that it is on the horizontal branch and is generating energy through the fusion of helium at its core.[9] With 1.62[5] times the mass of the Sun, it has expanded to 11[6] times the Sun's radius. It is radiating 58.9[5] times the Sun's luminosity from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,809 K.[5]
