Possible binary star system in the constellation Grus
HD 213240 is a possible binary star[10] system in the constellation Grus. It has an apparent visual magnitude of 6.81,[2] which lies below the limit of visibility for normal human sight. The system is located at a distance of 133.5 light years from the Sun based on parallax. The primary has an absolute magnitude of 3.77.[2]
This is an ordinary G-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of G0/G1V.[3] It is a metal-rich star with an age that has been calculated as being anywhere from 2.7 to 4.6 billion years.[10] The star has 1.6[5] times the mass of the Sun and 1.56[6] times the Sun's radius. It is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 3.5 km/s.[8] The star is radiating 2.69[6] times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,921 K.[6]
A red dwarf companion star was detected in 2005 with a projected separation of 3,898 AU.[10]
