HD 77912 is a single[8] star in the northern constellation of Lynx. It is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.56.[2] The star is located 650 light years from the Sun, as determined from its annual parallax shift of 5.0 mas.[1] It is moving further away with a heliocentric radial velocity of +16.6 km/s.[4] HD 77912 has a peculiar velocity of 23.1+2.9
−1.1 km/s, which may mark it as a runaway star.[9]
The stellar classification of HD 77912 is G7 II Ba0.2,[3] indicating it is a bright giant with a mild overabundance of barium. It has 4.6[6] times the mass of the Sun and has expanded to 33[2] times the Sun's radius. The star is radiating 1,168[4] times the Sun's luminosity from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,899 K.[6]
