I'm seeing:

Achird / ETA Cas / 24 Cas / HD 4614 / HIP 3821
Ditance: 35.814 au
Abs (app) mag = -4.73 (-28.53)
Class: G0 V
Surface Temp: 6030.000 K
Radius: 79.98 Rsun

Note that the radius and abs magnitude conflicts with the class.

When I hit H to select Sol, I get Distance: 1411.976 ly, which a couple orders of magnitude too high.

I'm guessing two star entries got merged into one.

I'm concerned that this might not be the only instance of this issue [what are the odds that I'd stumble on the only instance of this problem?]
