Characteristics
edit82 Virginis is a red giant star, based on its spectral type of M1III,[2] where M means that it is a M-type star and III is the luminosity class, meaning that it is a giant star. The star is 70.8 times larger than the Sun and 890 times more voluminous.[1] The effective temperature of the star is of 3675 K,[3] which is 2197 degrees colder than the solar temperature of 5772 K. Its rotational velocity is of 2.3 km/s.[5] The angular diameter of the star, as measured from the CHARM survey, is of 4.48±0.28 mas.[6] At the current distance, this would lead to a radius of 77 R☉, which is similar to the radius derived by Gaia DR2.
The parallax of the star is measured at 6.249±0.2611 mas from Gaia DR2, translating to a distance of 160 parsecs (520 light-years) from Earth.[1] The star is moving towards Earth at a velocity of 36.6 km/s.[2] Its apparent magnitude is 5.01,[3] making it visible to the naked eye.[a]
