HD 201298 (HR 8090) is a solitary star located in the northern constellation Equuleus just next to 3 Equulei It has an apparent magnitude of 6.14,[2] making it barely visible to the naked eye under ideal conditions. The star is situated at a distance of 1,140 light years[1] but is drifting away with a heliocentric radial velocity of 20 km/s.[6]
HD 201298 has a stellar classification of M0 III, indicating that it is ageing M-type star[4] that is probably on the red giant branch.[3] As a result, it has expanded to 117 times the Sun's girth.[7] At present it has 1.83 times the mass of the Sun[7] and shines with a luminosity of 1,648 L☉ from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 3,732 K,[8] which gives it an orange glow. HD 201298 spins leisurely with a projected rotational velocity of 4.5±1 km/s,[10] slightly faster than most giants.
