Knowledge graphHR 1034HD 21278HIP 16147

Scientific overview

HR 1034 is a main-sequence star in the constellation Perseus (Persei), lying about 524.4 light-years from Earth.

Class B. Hot, blue-white stars. Massive and luminous, they often light up the regions where they form. Such stars have surface temperatures around 10,000–30,000 K and appear blue-white to the eye.

Evolution

A main-sequence star fuses hydrogen into helium in its core. It will remain on the main sequence for most of its life before evolving into a giant.
