# HIP 98339

HIP 98339 is a CEMP-no red [star](https://spacecatalog.org/stars) in the constellation [Sagittarius](https://spacecatalog.org/constellation/sagittarius), shining at apparent magnitude 9.28 (V).

## At a glance

- **WHAT IT IS:** Red star
- **HOW BRIGHT (V):** 9.28 — Binoculars reach it; the naked eye does not.
- **WHERE TO LOOK:** [Sagittarius](https://spacecatalog.org/constellation/sagittarius) — The patch of sky it sits in, as seen from Earth.

## Properties

| Quantity | Value |
| --- | --- |
| CLASS | CEMP-no red star |
| APPARENT MAGNITUDE (V) | 9.28 |
| CONSTELLATION | Sagittarius |

## 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 | CEMP-no |
| Surface temperature | 19 884 K |
| Radius | 5.453 R☉ |
| Surface gravity (log g) | 3.857 |
| Metallicity (\[Fe/H\]) | −2.93 ±0.14 |

### 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) | 0.715 |

### 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) | 11.89 mas/yr |
| Proper motion (Dec) | −91.8 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 (2016ApJ...833...20Y, quality C) |
| Stellar parameters from | Gaia DR3 model fit (GSP-Phot, FLAME; RUWE ≤ 1.4) — low confidence: above 7,500 K GSP-Phot's temperature and extinction are degenerate |
| Metallicity from | Median of 15 spectroscopic determinations in 18 papers, compiled from the literature (PASTEL, Soubiran+ 2016); the error bar is the scatter between them |
