HD 55151 (HR 2712) is a solitary star located in the circumpolar constellation Volans. With an apparent magnitude of 6.47,[2] it is near the limit of naked eye visibility. The star is located 512 light years[1] away from the Solar System, but is drifting closer with a heliocentric radial velocity of -13 km/s.[1]

HD 55151 has a stellar classification of K0 III,[3] which states that it is an early K-type star that has exhausted hydrogen at its core and left the main sequence. It has twice the Sun's mass,[6] but has expanded to 12 times the Sun's girth.[1] It radiates at 70 solar luminosities[1] from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,824 K,[1] which gives it the orangish-yellow hue of a K-type star. HD 55151 belongs to the thin disk population,[9] and is slightly metal deficient. However, it has a projected rotational velocity that is too low to be measured.[8]
