Star in the constellation Octans
HD 212301 is a binary star [ 4] system in the south circumpolar constellation of Octans . This star is also called HIP 110852 .[ 7] With an apparent visual magnitude of 7.76,[ 2] it is too faint to be visible to the naked eye. The system is located at a distance of 177 light years from the Sun based on parallax ,[ 1] and is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +4.7 km/s.[ 2] It has an absolute magnitude of 4.06.[ 2]
The primary, component A, is an F-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of F8V.[ 3] It has 20%[ 5] greater mass than the Sun and a 23%[ 1] larger radius. Its age is about the same as the Sun and it is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 5.4 km/s.[ 6] It is a metal-rich star with 50% more metals than the Sun has.[ 6] The star is radiating 1.9[ 1] times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 6,169 K.[ 1]
A secondary companion was announced in 2009. This faint star is located at an angular separation of 4.4″ to the northwest of the primary, corresponding to a projected separation of ~230 AU . This is a red dwarf with an estimated class of M3V and a mass equal to around 35% of the mass of the Sun. The pair share a common proper motion .[ 4]
A hot jupiter candidate exoplanet was discovered orbiting the primary, based on radial velocity observations taken in 2003 and 2005.[ 6]
