19 Vulpeculae is star located approximately 1,690[1] light years from Earth in the northern constellation of Vulpecula.[9] It is a probable member of the open cluster NGC 6882.[4] This object is visible to the naked eye as a faint, orange-hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.40.[2] It is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of −19 km/s.[4]
This is an aging giant star with a stellar classification of K2 IIIa,[3] having already consumed the hydrogen at its core and evolved away from the main sequence. It has nearly five[6] times the mass of the Sun but has expanded to around 100[1] times the Sun's radius. The star is radiating 2,889[1] times the Sun's luminosity from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,200 K.[7]
