Exoplanet Archivedata

HD 152079 is a star with an orbiting exoplanet in the southern constellation of Ara. It is located at a distance of 287 light years from the Sun based on parallax measurements,[2] but is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −21 km/s.[4] At that distance the star is much too faint to be visible with the naked eye, having an apparent visual magnitude of 9.18.[1]

This is a G-type main-sequence star[8] with a stellar classification of G6V.[3] Age estimates range from 1.6[5] to 6.2[6] billion years. It has 1.15 times the mass of the Sun and 1.13 times the Sun's girth. This is a metal-rich star, having a higher iron abundance than in the Sun.[5] The star is radiating 1.44[6] times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,907 K.[5]

Planetary system

[edit]

It has one confirmed exoplanet, discovered in 2010 by the Magellan Planet Search Program. This is a super-jovian object with an eccentric orbit and a 8.0 yr orbital period.[8] In 2018, an analysis of HARPS data suggested the presence of an additional outer companion with a mass at least 83% of the mass of Jupiter.[5]
