HD 102117 is a magnitude 7 yellow dwarf star (spectral type G6V) about 130 light years from Earth in the constellation of Centaurus. Although it is cooler than our Sun it is brighter and thus more evolved. This star is too dim to be seen without binoculars or a small telescope.[2]
Planetary system
In 2004, the Anglo-Australian Planet Search announced a planet orbiting the star.[5] A short time later the HARPS team also announced the presence of a planet around this star. Both groups detected this planet with the radial velocity method.[6]
