HD 34266, also known as HR 1721 is a solitary,[13] yellow hued star located in the southern constellation Columba, the dove. It has an apparent magnitude of 5.73,[2] making it faintly visible to the naked eye under ideal conditions. Based on Gaia DR3 parallax measurements, the object is located 539 light years away.[1] It appears to be drifting away from the Solar System, having a heliocentric radial velocity of 13.2 km/s.[6]

This is an evolved giant star that is currently on the red giant branch,[3] fusing hydrogen in a shell around an inert helium core. It has a stellar classification of G8 III.[4] HD 34266 is calculated to be 490 million years old,[10] almost 10 times younger than the Sun. However, it already left the main sequence due to a mass of 3.42 M_☉.[8] HD 34266 has expanded to 16.2 times the Sun's girth and now radiates 144 times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,970 K.[8] HD 34266 has a near solar metallicity and spins modestly with a projected rotational velocity of 2.3 km/s.[9]
