HD 23079
star
HD 23079, also named Tupi, is a star in the southern constellation of Reticulum. Since the star has an apparent visual magnitude of 7.12, it is not visible to the naked eye, but at least in binoculars it should be easily visible. Parallax measurements give a distance estimate of 109 light-years from the Sun. It is slowly drifting further away with a radial velocity of +0.65 km/s.
This object is an inactive F-type main sequence star with a stellar classification of F9.5V; in between F8 and G0. This indicates it is generating energy through core hydrogen fusion. The star is similar to the Sun, but is slightly hotter and more massive. It is about 5.1 billion years old and it is spinning slowly with a projected rotational velocity of 1.3 km/s. The metallicity of this star is below solar, meaning the abundance of elements other than hydrogen and helium is lower than in the Sun.
Nomenclature
This was one of the systems selected to be named in the 2019 NameExoWorlds campaign during the 100th anniversary of the IAU, which assigned each country a star and planet to be named.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “HD 23079” as star. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as star. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 6, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q1410318. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2019.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
