HD 222060, also known as HR 8957, is a solitary, orange hued star located in the southern circumpolar constellation Octans. It has an apparent magnitude of 5.98,[2] allowing it to be faintly visible to the naked eye. Based on parallax measurements from GAIA, the object is estimated to be 536 light years distant.[1] It appears to be slowly receding from the Solar System, having a heliocentric radial velocity of 2.3 km/s.[9]

This is an evolved giant star that is currently on the red giant branch,[3] fusing a hydrogen shell around a helium core. HD 222060 a stellar classification of K0 II/III,[4] a K-type star with the blended luminosity class of a giant and a bright giant. It has 3.2 times the mass of the Sun[8] and is currently 318 million years old.[9] Due to its high mass, the object has expanded to an enlarged radius of 12.6 R.[8] It radiates 102 times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,175 K.[8] HD 222060 has a near solar metallicity[8] and spins modestly with a projected rotational velocity of 3.7 km/s.[9]
