85 Geminorum (85 Gem) is an A-type main-sequence star located approximately 510 light-years from Earth in the constellation of Gemini.[1] It is a relatively bright star with an apparent visual magnitude of approximately 5.37, making it visible to the naked eye under dark skies.[2]
Observation
[edit]In 2005, 85 Geminorum was observed by NASA Infrared Telescope Facility and has served as an A0V spectrophotometric standard star[6] in infrared spectroscopy to calibrate spectra of M, L, and T dwarf stars.[6]
In a 2022 survey of visual binaries among intermediate-mass stars, 85 Geminorum was included with an estimated mass of approximately 3.29 M☉,[5] placing it in the A-type stars mass range. Although, no companion stars have been detected.[5]
