HD 110458 is a single

light years from the Sun based on parallax,[1] but is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −12 km/s.[2] Based on its space motion, in 1972 O. J. Eggen listed it as a probable member of the Hyades group.[10]

The stellar classification of HD 110458 is K0III,[3][4] which indicates this is an aging giant star that has exhausted the supply of hydrogen at its core. It is estimated to be 2.6[6] billion years old with 1.7[6] times the mass of the Sun and has expanded to 11.6[7] times the girth of the Sun. The star is radiating 61[7] times the luminosity of the Sun from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,682 K.[6]
