HD 40091, also known as HR 2082, is a solitary star[14] located in the southern constellation Columba, the dove. It has an apparent magnitude of 5.54,[3] making it faintly visible to the naked eye under ideal conditions. Based on parallax measurements from the Gaia spacecraft, the object is estimated to be 501 light years distant.[2] However, it is rapidly receding with a high heliocentric radial velocity of 114 km/s.[7]

This is an evolved red giant with a stellar classification of M0 III.[4] It has 121% the mass of the Sun[9] but has expanded to 52.43 times its girth.[10] It radiates 392 times the luminosity of the Sun[11] from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 3,969 K,[12] giving it a red hue. HD 40091 is slightly metal enriched, having an iron abundance 38% above solar levels. [9]

HD 40091 is found to vary between 5.64 and 5.68 in the Hipparcos passband, but it is not confirmed to be a variable star. Therefore, it is catalogued in the GCVS as a suspected variable.[6]
