HD 46568 (HR 2399) is a solitary[13] star in the southern constellation Columba. It is faintly visible to the naked eye with an apparent magnitude of 5.25.[2] Parallax measurements place the object at a distance of 284 light years[1] and is currently receding with a heliocentric radial velocity of 39 km/s.[6]

HD 46568 has a stellar classification of G8 III, indicating that it is a yellow giant. At present it has nearly twice the mass of the Sun[8] but at an age of 1.68 billion years[10] it has expanded to 10.66 times the radius of the Sun.[8] It has an effective temperature of 4,935 K,[8] giving it a yellow glow. However, the star's large radius yields a luminosity 60 times that of Sun.[8] HD 46568's metallicity is 69% that of the Sun[8] and it spins with a poorly constrained projected rotational velocity of 1.2 km/s.[9]
