HD 32453 (HR 1631) is a solitary star located in the southern constellation Caelum. With an apparent magnitude of 6.01, it's barely visible to the naked eye under ideal conditions. This star is located 406 light years away based on its parallax shift, but is drifting away at a rate of 5.52 km/s.
This star was designated Epsilon Caeli by Johann Elert Bode in his 1801 Uranographia, but this is now no longer used.
HD 32453 has a classification of G8 III, which states it is an evolved G-type star that exhausted hydrogen at its core and left the main sequence. At present it has 2.40 times the Sun's mass, but at an age of 700 million years, HD 32453 has expanded to 9.7 times the latter's girth. It radiates at 50 solar luminosities from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,032 K, which gives it a yellow hue. HD 32453 is slightly metal deficient, and spins slowly with a projected rotational velocity of 2 km/s, common for a giant star.
