HD 130255 = HIP 72291
Keenan & McNeil (1989; https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1989ApJS...71..245K/abstract) lists two spectral types for this star:
G9III CN-3 CH1 Ba0.5
G9V Ba2
The star is distant (plx = 1.9614+-0.0257 mas; GaiaDR3), combining V=8.60(Hipparcos), Av=0.135(calculated using E(B-V)=0.0386 from Stassun+2019/TIC) => Mv = -0.07.
Clearly the star is a red giant, not a dwarf, and the 1st spectral type from Keenan & McNeil (1989) is preferable: G9III CN-3 CH1 Ba0.5
