Star mass
Mass of the star BD+37 3172 is 3.75 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 BD+37 3172 is not known. Its estimated value based on other similar stars is about 1860 % 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 BD+37 3172 is estimated to be 4952 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

Class of stars Red giant
White dwarfs are the hot, extremely dense stellar remnants left behind by stars that originally had masses between about 0.5 and 8 times the mass of the Sun during their main sequence lifetimes. After exhausting their nuclear fuel, these stars shed their outer layers and leave behind a compact core. Although white dwarfs contain between roughly 0.2 and 1.44 solar masses, this mass is packed into a volume comparable to that of an Earth-sized planet, making them some of the densest objects in the Universe.
