HD 223311 is a star in the equatorial constellation of Aquarius. It has an orange hue and is visible to the naked eye as a dim star with an apparent visual magnitude of 6.08.[2] Based on parallax measurements, the star is located at a distance of approximately 910 light years from the Sun. It is a radial velocity standard[9] star that is drifting closer to the Sun at the rate of −20 km/s.[3] The star is situated near the ecliptic and thus is subject to lunar occultations.[10]
This is an aging K-type giant star with a stellar classification of K4III.[3] Having exhausted the supply of hydrogen at its core, it has cooled and expanded off the main sequence. At present it has 41[1] times the girth of the Sun. It is a suspected variable star of unknown type that has been measured ranging in brightness from magnitude 5.01 down to 5.26 in the infrared I band.[4] The star is radiating 496 times the luminosity of the Sun from its swollen photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,267 K.[1]
