HR 3407 is a single[10] star in the southern constellation of Vela. It has the Bayer designation C Velorum; HR 3407 is the designation in the Bright Star Catalogue.[9] It is an orange-hued star that is dimly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.01.[2] The distance to this object is approximately 1,040 light years based on parallax measurements, and it is drifting further away with a radial velocity of 4 km/s.[1]

This star has stellar classification of K1.5Ib,[4] which would suggest it is a supergiant, but is actually a giant star according to modern studies.[3] It has about three times the mass of the Sun[3] and has expanded to around 56 times the Sun's radius.[7] The latter is equivalent to 0.26 AU. It is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 4.1.[8] The star displays microvariability with a period of 10.99 cycles per day and an amplitude of 0.0036 in magnitude.[5] It is radiating around 1,010 times the luminosity of the Sun from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,245 K.[3]
