HD 106252 is a star with a brown dwarf[8] companion in the constellation Virgo. An apparent visual magnitude of 7.41[2] means this star is too faint to be visible to the naked eye. It is located at a distance of 210 light years from the Sun based on parallax measurements, and is receding with a radial velocity of 15 km/s.[5]
The stellar classification of HD 106252 is G0V,[3] matching an ordinary G-type main-sequence star. It has 5%[6] more mass than the Sun and 10%[3] greater in girth. This star is about three[6] billion years old with a low level of magnetic activity[4] and is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 2 km/s.[4] It is radiating 1.3[6] times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,890 K.[4]
In 2001, a massive sub-stellar companion was announced orbiting the star by the European Southern Observatory.[9][4] The discovery was confirmed by a different team using the Lick Telescope.[3] Astrometric observations from Hipparcos in 2011 suggested that its true mass is likely around 30.6 |♃|J}}}}}}, in the brown dwarf range.[8] More accurate astrometry from Gaia in 2021 revealed a smaller true mass of 10.0 |♃|J}}}}}}.[6]
