HD 197630, also known as HR 7933 or rarely 23 G. Microscopii, is a probable astrometric binary located in the southern constellation of Microscopium. The visible component is a bluish-white hued star that is faintly visible to the naked eye with an apparent magnitude of 5.47.[3] Based on parallax measurements from the Gaia satellite, the system is estimated to be 328 light years away.[2] However, it is drifting closer with a heliocentric radial velocity of −30 km/s. At its current distance, HD 197630's brightness is diminished by 0.11 magnitudes due to interstellar dust.[17] A 2012 multiplicity survey failed to confirm the velocity variations.[18]

HD 197630 has a stellar classification of B8/9 V,[5] indicating that it is a B-type star with the characteristics of a B8 and B9 main sequence star. It has 2.83 times the mass of the Sun[4] and 2.56 times the Sun's radius. It radiates 73.5 times the luminosity of the Sun[10] from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 10,965 K.[12] The star is estimated to be 113 million years old,[11] having completed roughly half of its main sequence lifetime.[4] HD 19730 is spinning rapidly with a projected rotational velocity of 290 km/s.[14]

The object was in a 2002 Hipparcos variability survey and as a result,[20] the AAVSO cataloged HD 197630 as a suspected variable star that fluctuates by 0.005 magnitudes within 7.71 hours.[21] However, subsequent observations have not confirmed this. Further data from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite suggests that HD 197630 may be a slowly pulsating B-type star plus a variable star with rotation modulations.[7]
