# HD 6924

HD 6924 is a G0V yellow main-sequence [star](https://spacecatalog.org/stars) in the constellation [Cetus](https://spacecatalog.org/constellation/cetus), 411.3 ly from Earth, shining at apparent magnitude 9.66 (V). Other catalogues list it as HIP 5448.

## At a glance

- **WHAT IT IS:** Yellow main-sequence star
- **HOW FAR:** 411.3 ly — The light arriving now left it that long ago.
- **HOW BRIGHT (V):** 9.66 — A small telescope reaches it.
- **WHERE TO LOOK:** [Cetus](https://spacecatalog.org/constellation/cetus) — The patch of sky it sits in, as seen from Earth.

## Properties

| Quantity | Value |
| --- | --- |
| CLASS | G0V yellow main-sequence star |
| MASS | 1.15 M☉ — Gaia DR3 model fit (GSP-Phot, FLAME; RUWE ≤ 1.4) — low confidence: Gaia's classifier calls the source a binary, which GSP-Phot fitted as one star |
| DISTANCE FROM EARTH | 411.3 ly — by parallax |
| APPARENT MAGNITUDE (V) | 9.66 |
| ABSOLUTE MAGNITUDE (V) | 4.16 |
| CONSTELLATION | Cetus |
| RIGHT ASCENSION (J2000) | 01h 09m 45.0s |
| DECLINATION (J2000) | +01° 13′ 31.0″ |

## Catalogue data

### WHAT KIND OF THING IT IS

What the object is in itself, rather than how it happens to look from here.

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Spectral type | G0V |
| Surface temperature | 6180 K |
| Luminosity | 1.89496 L☉ |
| Luminosity (bolometric) | 1.783 L☉ |
| Radius | 1.167 R☉ |
| Mass | 1.152 M☉ |
| Surface gravity (log g) | 4.296 |
| Age | 2.08×10⁹ years |

### HOW BRIGHT IT IS

What the light adds up to, measured through one filter at a time. A magnitude is a brightness on a backwards scale — the smaller the number, the brighter the object.

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Colour index (B−V) | 0.487 |

### WHERE IT IS AND HOW IT MOVES

Position, motion across the sky and the size it covers on it. These are measurements of the object as seen from here, so every one of them depends on where here is.

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Proper motion (RA) | 13.99 mas/yr |
| Proper motion (Dec) | −12.31 mas/yr |
| Radial velocity | 0 km/s |

### WHERE THESE FIGURES CAME FROM

Which catalogue, paper or model each of the fields above was read from, where the source named one.

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Spectral type from | SIMBAD (1999MSS...C05....0H, quality C) |
| Stellar parameters from | Gaia DR3 model fit (GSP-Phot, FLAME; RUWE ≤ 1.4) — low confidence: Gaia's classifier calls the source a binary, which GSP-Phot fitted as one star |
