Star position
The position of a star tells us where it appears in the sky, similar to how we use coordinates like latitude and longitude on Earth. In astronomy, the three main coordinates are right ascension, declination and distance. .. icon More about Star position in StellarGuide

Star mass
Mass of the star V419 Hydrae is 0.80 solar masses.

The mass of a star is the total amount of matter it contains. It is one of the most important properties of a star, as it determines almost everything about how the star lives, changes, and dies. In astronomy, star mass is usually measured in solar masses (M☉) — where 1 solar mass is equal to the mass of our Sun... icon More about Star mass in StellarGuide

Star size
Radius of the star V419 Hydrae is 0.77 solar radii.

The size of a star refers to its radius — the distance from its center to its surface. Star size is usually measured in solar radii (R☉), where 1 solar radius equals approximately 696,000 kilometers. Depending on their type and life stage, stars can be much smaller or larger than the Sun... icon More about Star size in StellarGuide

Star temperature
Surface temperature of V419 Hydrae is 5000 K, which is 87 % of the temperature on the surface of the Sun.

The temperature of a star refers to the temperature at its surface, also called the photosphere. It is measured in kelvins (K), the standard unit for temperature in astronomy. A star’s temperature tells us a lot about its physical properties and where it stands in its evolutionary stage... icon More about Star temperature in StellarGuide

Star age
Star V419 Hydrae is 0.294 billion years old, which is about 0.06 of the Sun's age.

The age of a star tells us how long it has been shining since it formed. Knowing a star’s age helps astronomers understand its life stage, how it has changed over time, and what will happen to it in the future... icon More about Star age in StellarGuide
luminosity icon
Luminosity: 0.38 L Sun

Star luminosity
Luminosity is the total amount of energy a star gives off every second. Think of it as the star’s true brightness — not just how bright it looks from Earth. This is important because some stars may appear dim simply because they are far away, not because they’re actually faint... icon More about Star luminosity in StellarGuide

More about V419 Hydrae

Nearby star V419 Hydrae is a main sequence star that fuses hydrogen atoms into helium. It is approximately 80 % of the size of Sun and temperature on its surface is around 5000 K (4727 °C), which is about 87 % of Sun's temperature.
      a BY Draconis variable. Stars from this category exhibit periodic variations in their luminosity. The variability is caused by a rotation which shows and hides starspots on the surface. V419 Hydrae can be found in southern celestial hemisphere, you cannot see it with naked eye, but you can observe this star with basic telescope. The star is also observable from Northern America, Europe and Asia. 

      V419 Hydrae is a BY Draconis variable. Stars from this category exhibit periodic variations in their luminosity. The variability is caused by a rotation which shows and hides starspots on the surface.
