Current spectral type for HD 56168
(K0III C
1969AbaOB..37...89D
)
is erroneous and obsolete.
The star is clearly more consistent with
being a dwarf (V) rather than giant (III)
given its combination of color (0.888; Hipparcos,
ESA 1997), V magnitude (8.38; Hipparcos, ESA 1997),
and parallax (38.6580+-0.0383 mas; Gaia DR2), which
are consistent with a very dwarf-like absolute
magnitude of Mv = 6.32.
A more modern spectral type is available from Gray+:
K2.5V
2003AJ....126.2048G
