HIP 94292, commonly referred to by its KIC designation KIC 9145955, is a red-giant branch star located in the northern constellation of Lyra.
Description
[edit]It has an apparent magnitude of 10.05,[2] which makes it too faint to observe with the naked eye, but readily visible through a 35-mm aperture telescope.[9] Gaia EDR3 parallax measurements place the star some 1,351 light-years (414 parsecs) distant, and it is receding with a heliocentric radial velocity of +17.4 km/s.[1]
HIP 94292 is an evolved giant star with a spectral type of G8III.[3] It is currently on the red-giant branch (RGB),[6] undergoing the CNO cycle within a hydrogen shell surrounding an inert core made of helium. With a radius 5.6 times that of the Sun and an effective temperature just over 5,000 K (4,730 °C; 8,540 °F), it radiates 18.8 times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere.[6] Due to its higher mass of 1.24 M☉, it is further evolved than the Sun despite a similar age of 4.61±0.23 billion years.[8]
The helium core has been precisely measured to have a mass of 0.210±0.002 M☉ and a radius of 0.0307±0.0002 R☉.[6] As expected of RGB stars, HIP 94292 exhibits solar-like oscillations.[8]
