HD 158633

HD 158633 is a main sequence star in the northern constellation Draco. With an apparent visual magnitude of 6.43, this star is too faint to be observed with the unaided eye but it can be seen with a small telescope. Based upon parallax measurements made by the Hipparcos spacecraft, it is located around 42 light years from the Sun.

This is a K-type main sequence star with a spectral classification of K0 V. It has about 79% of the Sun's radius and 73% of the solar mass.[6] The star is emitting an excess of infrared radiation at a wavelength of 70 μm.[8] It has a low metallicity, with only 37% of the Sun's abundance of elements more massive than helium, and has a relatively high proper motion.[2]
