19 Monocerotis

19 Monocerotis is a single,[12] variable star[4] in the equatorial constellation of Monoceros, located approximately 1,220 light years away from the Sun based on parallax.[1] It has the variable star designation V637 Monocerotis, while 19 Monocerotis is the Flamsteed designation. This object is visible to the naked eye as a faint, blue-white hued star with a baseline apparent visual magnitude of 5.00.[2] It is receding from the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of +25 km/s.[5]

This massive, B-type main-sequence star has a stellar classification of B1 V.[3] It is a Beta Cephei variable, ranging from 5.01 to 4.96 magnitude with a period of 0.19 days.[4] Closer examination shows there are three frequencies present, consisting of 5.22994, 0.17017, and 4.88956 cycles per day.[8] At one point it was thought to be a marginal Be star, but this was not confirmed.[8] The star is spinning rapidly with a projected rotational velocity of 274 km/s.[8] It has 12.3[7] times the mass of the Sun and is radiating 4,817[6] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 25,400 K.[10]
