HR 4049, also known as HD 89353 and AG Antliae, is a post-asymptotic-giant-branch star in the constellation Antlia. A very metal-poor star,[3] it is surrounded by a thick unique circumbinary disk enriched in several molecules.[4] With an apparent magnitude of 5.53, the star can readily be seen under ideal conditions.[5] The star, located approximately 813 parsecs (2,650 ly) distant,[5] has been found to be a binary star;[6] however, likely the most unique feature about this star is its peculiar spectrum. The star appears, based on its spectrum in the Balmer series, to be a blue supergiant, although in reality it is an old low-mass star on the post-AGP phase of its life.[7] The star is also undergoing intense mass-loss[8] and is a unique variable, ranging between magnitudes 5.29 and 5.83 with a period of 429 days[9]
