HIP 11952 is a
star in the
Milky Way galaxy, located 375 light-years away from the
Sun. While the spectral lines strongly indicate that the star is of spectral type F2V-IV, previous analyses have stated that the star is a G8III giant star and an F0V main-sequence star.
[3] Located in the constellation Cetus, the star has a
metallicity only 1% that of the
Sun. It is nearing the end of its lifetime on the
main sequence, and will soon begin the transition into a
red giant.
