HD 56618 is a single[7] star in the southern constellation of Canis Major. It is a red-hued star that is faintly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 4.66.[1] This object is located at a distance of approximately 390 light years from the Sun based on parallax measurements. It is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +41.5 km/s,[1] having come to within 203 light-years some 2.2 million years ago.[1] Olin J. Eggen listed it as a probable member of the Hyades supercluster.[8]
This is an aging red giant star currently on the asymptotic giant branch[3] with a stellar classification of M2III.[4] It is no longer undergoing core hydrogen fusion and has expanded to 61[2] times the radius of the Sun. The star is radiating 700[2] times the luminosity of the Sun from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 3,797 K.[2]
