HD 99015, also known as HR 4397 or rarely 31 G. Chamaeleontis, is a solitary white-hued star located in the southern circumpolar constellation Chamaeleon. It has an apparent magnitude of 6.42,[2] placing it near the limit for naked eye visibility even in ideal conditions. The object is located relatively close at a distance of 243 light years[1] and is drifting closer with a somewhat constrained heliocentric radial velocity of −5.9 km/s.[5] At its current distance, HD 99015's brightness is diminished by 0.31 magnitudes due to interstellar dust.[14] It has an absolute magnitude of +2.08.[6]
This is an ordinary A-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of A5 V.[3] However, Nancy Houk and A. P. Cowley gave a class of A5 III/IV,[15] indicating that it is instead an evolved A-type star with the luminosity class of a subgiant and giant star. It has 1.87 times the mass of the Sun[7] and 1.83 times the solar radius.[8] It radiates 12 times the luminosity of the Sun[1] from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 7,859 K.[9] HD 99015 is somewhat metal enriched ([Fe/H] = +0.15[10]) and is estimated to be 854 million years old.[11]
