27 Monocerotisis a single[8]starlocated about 318[1]light yearsaway from the Sunstarin theequatorialconstellationofMonoceros.It is visible to the naked eye as a faint, orange-hued star with anapparent visual magnitudeof 4.93.[2]The star is advancing toward the Earth with a heliocentricradial velocityof −28 km/s.[5]

This object is an aginggiant star,most likely (94% chance) on thered giant branch,[9]with astellar classificationof K2III.[3]Having exhausted the hydrogen at itscore,the star hasevolvedoff themain sequenceand expanded to over 13 times thegirth of the Sun.It is around four billion years old with 1.3 times theSun's mass.[6]The star is radiating 148[1]times theSun's luminosityfrom its swollenphotosphereat aneffective temperatureof 4,568 K.[6]
