HD 90089 (HR 4084; Gliese 392.1) is a star located in the northern circumpolar constellation Camelopardalis. With an apparent magnitude of 5.25,[3] it is faintly visible to the naked eye under ideal conditions. This star is located relatively close at a distance of 75 light years,[10] but is drifting away at a rate of almost 8 km/s.[7]
HD 90089 is an F4 main-sequence star with the calcium K-line and metallic lines of an F2 star.[5] Although the spectral type is of a form that would indicate an Am star, it is not listed in any of the major catalogues of chemically peculiar stars.[11] At present it has 1.29 times the mass of the Sun[9] and 1.4 times its radius. It radiates at 3.36 times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 6,602 K,[10] which gives it a yellowish-white hue.
HD 90089's exact age depends on the method, with its X-ray luminosity giving it a young age of only 300 million years.[3] David et al. gave it an age of 1.1 billion years,[9] significantly older than the previous solution; it spins rapidly with a projected rotational velocity of 56.2 km/s,[3] and has an M0 companion separated 13" away[12] and at approximately the same distance.[13]
An infrared excess has been detected around this star, most likely indicating the presence of a circumstellar disk at a radius of 145 AU. The temperature of this dust is 30 K.[3]
