HD 90132 (HR 4086) is a solitary[15] white hued star located in the southern constellation Antlia. It has an apparent magnitude of 5.33,[2] making it one of the brighter members of this generally faint constellation. The star is relatively close at a distance of 135 light years[1] but is receding with a heliocentric radial velocityof17 km/s.[5]
HD 90132 has a stellar classification of A8 V,[3] indicating that it is an ordinary A-type main-sequence star. At present it has 1.69 times the mass of the Sun and 1.87 times the radius of the Sun.[7] Despite a young age of 70 million years,[12] the star has a lower surface gravity than expected.[9] This is due to the equator being 18% larger than the poles,[16] which is due to a high projected rotational velocityof270 km/s.[11] Nevertheless, it shines with a luminosityof9.8 L☉[8] from its photosphere at an effective temperatureof7,737 K.[9] HD 90132 is slightly metal deficient with a metallicity 74% that of Sun.[10]
This star was observed for infrared excess suggesting the presence of a circumstellar disk, but as of 2017 no excess have been found.[17]
