HD 82886, also named Illyrian, is a star with an orbiting exoplanet located in the constellation Leo Minor. It has an apparent visual magnitude of 7.63, making it too faint to be viewed with the naked eye. The distance to this system is approximately 413 light years, as measured using parallax. It is drifting further away with a heliocentric radial velocity of 12.7 km/s.
This is an aging subgiant star with a stellar classification of G0. With approximately 2.5 times the mass of the Sun, and an estimated age of 3–4 billion years, it has exhausted the supply of hydrogen at its core and expanded to more than five times the Sun's radius . The star is radiating nearly 12 times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,953 K.
HD 82886 and its planet HD 82886b were chosen as part of the 2019 NameExoWorlds campaign organised by the International Astronomical Union, which assigned each country a star and planet to name. HD 82886 was assigned to Albania. The winning proposal named the star Illyrian, after the ancient people of the Balkans region (including Albania), and the planet Arber, after the medieval term for the inhabitants of Albania.
