HD 85951 (HR 3923), formally named Felis /ˈfiːlɪs/,[12] is a solitary[13] orange hued star in the constellation Hydra. It has an apparent magnitude of 4.94,[2] making it faintly visible to the naked eye under ideal conditions. Based on parallax measurements, the object is about 570 light-years away from the Sun[1] and is receding with a heliocentric radial velocity of 50 km/s.[5]

Nomenclature

HD 85951 was the brightest star in the now-obsolete constellation of Felis.[14] In 2016, the IAU organized a Working Group on Star Names (WGSN)[15] to catalog and standardize proper names for stars. The WGSN approved the name Felis for this star on 1 June 2018 and it is now so included in the List of IAU-approved Star Names.[12]

Properties

This an evolved red giant with a stellar classification of K5 III.[4] It is currently on the asymptotic giant branch,[3] generating energy via fusion of hydrogen and helium shells around an inert carbon core. At present Felis has 6.4 times the mass of the Sun[7] and due to its evolved status, has an enlarged radius of 56.7 R☉.[8] It radiates at a bolometric luminosity 721 times that of the Sun[9] from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 3,875 K.[10] Felis has an iron abundance 66% that of the Sun, making it metal deficient.
