A tiny giant? A galmap bug? A confusion.

I expected everything but THAT when I was jumping to what was supposed to be an "B0 II" system.

There were no B-class stars there at all. Instead, I arrived to A (Blue Supergiant) Star. And this "giant" was only 0.0673 solar radius wide.
And it was spinning like crazy. It took about 20 seconds for it to make a full turn.
Its name is HIP 109603.

So back to title... Am I missing something? :S

LOL Nice find!! I found a red giant that was smaller than some of the regular red dwarf stars out there.

Yours is a much better find than mine though!
 
Write a ticket to support (if you dont already have) it is clearly a bug.


edit: just to make sure: did you honk with an advanced discovery scanner? It seemes in some rare cases you can end up at the 2nd star of a system if its mass is bigger than that of the main one.

edit2: just checked for myself, definitly a bug (probably some typo in the data)
