19 Sextantis (HD 88547; HR 4004; 34 G. Sextantis), or simply 19 Sex, is a solitary star[12] located in the equatorial constellation Sextans. It is faintly visible to the naked eye as an orange-hued point of light with an apparent magnitude of 5.78.[2] Gaia DR3 parallax measurements imply a distance of 516 light-years[1] and it is currently receding with a heliocentric radial velocity of 31.8 km/s.[7] At its current distance, 19 Sex's brightness is diminished by an interstellar extinction of 0.17 magnitudes.[13]
19 Sex has a stellar classification of K1 III,[4] indicating that it is an evolved K-type giant star that has ceased hydrogen fusion at it core and it has left the main sequence. It has also been given a slightly hotter class of K0 III.[5] Stellar evolution models from Stock et al. (2018) model it to be a red giant branch star (100% chance)[3] that is currently fusing a hydrogen shell around an inert helium core. It has 88% the mass of the Sun but at the age of 7.94 billion years,[3] it has expanded to 23.13 times the radius of the Sun.[8] It radiates 241 times the luminosity of the Sun[1] from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,576 K.[9] 19 Sex is metal deficient with an iron abundance of [Fe/H] = −0.53 or 29.5% of the Sun's[10] and it spins modestly with a projected rotational velocity of 2.5 km/s.[4]
