Star in the constellation Auriga
HD 45350 is a solar analog [ 7] star with an exoplanetary companion in the northern constellation of Auriga . It has an apparent visual magnitude of 7.89,[ 2] which means it is an 8th magnitude star that is too dim to be readily visible to the naked eye. The system is located at a distance of 153 light-years from the Sun based on parallax measurements, but is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −21 km/s.[ 1]
This is an ordinary G-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of G5 V,[ 3] which indicates it is generating energy through core hydrogen fusion . Age estimates are in the range of 6–7[ 4] [ 5] billion years and it has an absolute magnitude of 4.45,[ 2] placing it about 0.8 magnitudes above the main sequence. The star is chromospherically quiet but metal-rich [ 3] with a projected rotational velocity of 4.7 km/s.[ 5] The mass of the star is about the same as the Sun,[ 4] but it is 24% larger in radius and is a radiating 43% higher luminosity.[ 4]
The star HD 45350 is named Lucilinburhuc . The name was selected in the NameExoWorlds campaign by Luxembourg , during the 100th anniversary of the IAU . The Lucilinburhuc fortress was built in 963 by the founder of Luxembourg, Count Siegfried .[ 8] [ 9] The year 2019-2020 class of 3B from the Luxembourgish Echternach high school won the contest to name both the star and its planet.[ 10]
Planetary system
In January 2005, the discovery of a very eccentric extrasolar planet orbiting the star was announced by the California and Carnegie Planet Search team.[ 3]
