82 Virginis
View on Wikipedia82 Virginis, also known as m Virginis, is a star in the constellation Virgo. It is located 160 pc (520 light-years) from Earth based on a parallax of 6.249±0.2611 mas from Gaia Data Release 3.[1] It is a red giant, based on its spectral type of M1III.[4] Its apparent magnitude is 5.01.[2]
Characteristics
[edit]82 Virginis is a red giant star, based on its spectral type of M1III,[4] where M means that it is an M-type star and III is the luminosity class, meaning it is a giant star. The star is 54 times larger than the Sun.[1] The effective temperature of the star is 3,675 K,[2] which is 2,197 degrees cooler than the solar temperature of 5,772 K. Its rotational velocity is 2.3 km/s.[9] The angular diameter of the star, as measured from the CHARM survey, is of 4.48±0.28 mas.[10] At the current distance, this would lead to a radius of 77 R☉, somewhat larger than the radius derived by Gaia DR3.
The parallax of the star is measured at 5.4376±0.2897 mas from Gaia DR3, translating to a distance of 184 parsecs (600 light-years) from Earth.[1] The star is moving towards Earth at a velocity of 36.6 km/s.[4] Its apparent magnitude is 5.01,[2] making it visible to the naked eye.[a]
