3500 K

Explanation:

The wavelength #lambda_m# at which a hot body emits maximum energy is related to its absolute temperature #T# by

#lambda_m T = # constant

This is a consequence of Wien's displacement law - although very often it is called the Wien displacement law.

So, the temperature of the star is = # 5800 times 4750/7870# K #~~ 3500# K
