HD 111232
HD 111232 is a star in the southern constellation of Musca. It is too faint to be visible with the naked eye, having an apparent visual magnitude of 7.59.[2] The distance to this star is 94.5 light years based on parallax.[1] It is drifting away from the Sun with a radial velocity of +104 km/s,[2] having come to within 14.1 light-years some 264,700 years ago.[7] The absolute magnitude of this star is 5.25,[2] indicating it would have been visible to the naked eye at that time.

This is an ancient, thick disk population II[8][9] star with an estimated age of twelve billion years.[4] It is a G-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of G8 V Fe-1.0,[3] indicating an anomalous underabundance of iron in the stellar atmosphere. The star has 80% of the mass of the Sun and 88% of the Sun's radius. It is spinning slowly with a projected rotational velocity of 0.4 km/s.[5] X-ray emission has not been detected, suggesting a low level of coronal activity.[10][11] The star is radiating 70% of the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,648 K.[4]
Planetary system
A superjovian planetary companion was detected by the CORALIE team, based on observations beginning in 2003.[9][11] The planets around such metal-poor stars are rare (only three known similar cases are HD 22781, HD 114762, and Sika).[12]
