G 99-47 (V1201 Orionis) is a nearby degenerate star (white dwarf) of spectral class DAP8 (DAP8.9,[3] or DAP8.7[2]), the single known component of the system, located in the constellation Orion.

Distance

G 99-47 is probably the tenth closest white dwarf (or possibly the 9th–12th: see Gliese 293, Gliese 518 and Gliese 915). Its trigonometric parallax from the Yale Parallax Catalog is 0.1250 ± 0.0036 arcsec,[4] corresponding to a distance 8.00 ± 0.23 pc, or 26.09 ± 0.75 ly.

Physical parameters

G 99-47's mass is 0.71 ± 0.03 Solar masses;[2] its surface gravity is 108.20 ± 0.05 (1.58 · 108) cm·s−2,[2] or approximately 162 000 of Earth's, corresponding to a radius 7711 km, or 121% of Earth's.

Its temperature is 5790 ± 110 K,[2] almost like the Sun's; its cooling age, i. e. age as degenerate star (not including lifetime as main sequence star and as giant star) is 3.97 Gyr.[3] Due almost equal to the Sun's temperature, GJ 1087 should appear almost the same color as the Sun.

Notes

  1. ↑ From apparent magnitude and parallax.
  2. ↑ From surface gravity and mass.
  3. ↑ White dwarf cooling age, i. e. age as degenerate star (not including lifetime as main sequence star and as giant star)
