Star in the constellation Antlia
HD 93083 is an orange-hued star in the southern constellation of Antlia . It has the proper name Macondo , after the mythical village of the novel One Hundred Years of Solitude (Cien años de soledad). The name was selected by Colombia during the IAU 's NameExoWorlds campaign.[ 11] [ 12] The star has an apparent visual magnitude of 8.30,[ 2] which is too faint to be visible to the naked eye. It is located at a distance of 93 light years from the Sun based on parallax . HD 93083 is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +43.65 km/s, having come to within 43 light-years some 484,000 years ago.[ 2]
This is a K-type main-sequence star that has been assigned a stellar classification of K2IV-V[ 4] or K3V,[ 5] [ 6] depending on the study. It is smaller and less massive than the Sun, with a higher metallicity , or abundance of elements heavier than helium.[ 7] The star is roughly six billion years old with a low projected rotational velocity of 2.2 km/s, and has an expected main sequence lifetime of 20.4 billion years.[ 3] It is a source of X-ray emission with a luminosity of 7.9× 1026 erg s−1 .[ 5] The star is radiating around 41%[ 6] of the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,030 K.[ 7]
Planetary system
In 2005, the discovery of an exoplanet orbiting the star was announced. This is another discovery using the radial velocity method with the HARPS spectrograph .[ 6] The planet was given the name Melquíades by the IAU after a character in the book One Hundred Years of Solitude .[ 11] The orbit of this body lies entirely within the habitable zone of the host star, and it is theoretically possible that a large moon orbiting the body, or a hypothetical terrestrial exoplanet at a trojan point , is habitable .[ 3]
