Star in the constellation Cancer
HD 79498 is a double star in the northern constellation of Cancer . The primary component of this pair has an orbiting exoplanet companion. This star is too faint to be viewed with the naked eye, having an apparent visual magnitude of 8.05.[ 2] The system is located at a distance of 159 light years based on parallax measurements,[ 1] and is drifting further away with a heliocentric radial velocity of 20 km/s.[ 1] It has a relatively high proper motion , traversing the celestial sphere at an angular rate of 0.2″ ·yr−1 .[ 11]
The primary, designated component A, is a G-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of G5 V.[ 3] It has 8%[ 7] greater mass compared to the Sun and a 5% larger girth.[ 2] The star is estimated to be 2.8[ 7] billion years old and appears to be spinning slowly with a projected rotational velocity of 2.0 km/s.[ 8] It has a higher than solar abundance of elements other than hydrogen and helium; what astronomers term a metal-rich star.[ 12] The star is radiating 7% more luminosity than the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,800 K.[ 3] There appears to be only a low level of magnetic activity in the star's chromosphere .[ 5]
The secondary member, component B, is located at a projected separation of 2,900 AU from the primary.[ 5] It is a small red dwarf of spectral class M0 V.[ 4]
Planetary system
The McDonald Observatory planet search program discovered an exoplanet orbiting the primary in 2011 using the radial velocity method .[ 5]
