Properties
HD 70514 has a classifcation of "K1 III" which states this is a giant star that has exhausted hydrogen at its core and left the main sequence. It has 1.9 times the mass of the Sun but has expanded to 15 times the latter's girth. It radiates at 99 solar luminosities from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,515 K, which gives it a orangish-yellow hue. HD 70514 has metallicity 126% that of Sun, and rotates rather slowly.
