Stellar Absorption Spectrum
Simulated absorption spectrum based on spectral type. Hover over lines to identify elements.
Stellar Notes
UBV photometry indicates strong interstellar absorption, confirmed by neighboring stars. However, the spectral type is | considerably later than expected, even from the observed (B-V).
UMa stream; in reflection nebula; assoc. Sco R1. If a member of UMa stream, it must be an interloper in the upper Sco | nebulosities.
Variously classified G5III, G8IIIb, K0.5III and K5III.
