HD 86081
HD 86081 is a yellow-hued star in the equatorial constellation of Sextans. It has the proper name Bibha, after Indian physicist Bibha Chowdhuri. The name was suggested in the NameExoWorlds competition by Ananyo Bhattacharya, a mechanical engineering student of the Sardar Vallabhbhai National Institute of Technology Surat. With an apparent visual magnitude of 8.73, this star is too dim to be viewed with the naked eye but can be seen with a small telescope. It is located at a distance of approximately 340 light years from the Sun based on parallax, and is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +31 km/s.
