HD 154345
Star in the constellation Hercules
HD 154345 is a star in the northern constellation of Hercules . With an apparent visual magnitude of +6.76[ 2] it is a challenge to view with the naked eye, but using binoculars it is an easy target.[ 8] The distance to this star is 59.6 light years based on parallax , but it is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −47 km/s.[ 1] At least one exoplanet is orbiting this star.[ 9]
The stellar classification of HD 154345 is G8V,[ 3] matching an ordinary G-type main-sequence star that is generating energy by core hydrogen fusion . The magnetic activity cycle of this star is curiously correlated with the radial velocity variations induced by its putative planetary companion.[ 10] [ 11] It is around four[ 4] billion years old and is spinning with a rotation period of 28 days.[ 6] The star is smaller and less massive than the Sun. It is radiating 62% of the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,557 K.[ 4]
Planetary system
In 2006, a long-period, wide-orbiting planet was observed by radial velocity , and published in May 2007, gaining the designation HD 154345 b .[ 9] It has been called a "Jupiter twin".[ 12] While the existence of HD 154345 b has been unclear due to the correlation of its orbital period with the star's activity cycle,[ 10] a study in 2021 further confirmed its planetary nature.[ 13]
The complete observation of its nine-year orbit rules out any interior planets of minimum mass (m sini ) greater than 0.3 Jupiter.[ 12] The star rotates at an inclination of 50+40 −26 degrees relative to Earth.[ 6] It is probable that the planet shares that inclination.[ 14] [ 15] In 2023, the inclination and true mass of HD 154345 b were determined via astrometry , consistent within the margin of error with the stellar rotational inclination.[ 16]
The system's habitable zone stretches from 0.64 AU out to 1.26 AU , and is narrower than the Sun 's. It forms a stable region where an Earth-mass exoplanet could orbit.[ 17]
