HD 35519 is a K-type giant star in the direction of open clusterMessier 38. It was once treated as a cluster member, but is now known to be a foreground object located at a distance of about 699 light-years (214pc).
The star has expanded to about 30 times the Sun's radius and radiates around 259 times the Sun's luminosity at a temperature of about 4,265 K. HD 35519 is 5.6 billion years old and has 2.7 times the Sun's mass. At an apparent visual magnitude of 6.3062, the star is visible to the naked eye under good viewing conditions.
