HD 200779 (HIP 104092; Gliese 818; LHS 3624) is a solitary star located in the equatorial constellation Equuleus, the foal.
It has an apparent magnitude of 8.27,[2] making it readily visible in binoculars but not to the naked eye.
The object is located relatively close at a distance of 49 light years based on Gaia DR3 parallax measurements,[1] which makes it the nearest star in Equuleus.
[15] HD 200779 is an ordinary K-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of K6 V.[3] It has 68% the mass of the Sun[7] and 69% of its radius.
[8] However, it only radiates 18% the luminosity of the Sun[9] from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,406 K,[10] giving it an orange hue.
