HD 9446
Star with a planetary system in the constellation Triangulum
HD 9446 is a star located about 164[ 1] light-years away in the constellation of Triangulum , near the southwestern constellation border with Pisces . This object can be viewed with binoculars or a telescope, but it is too faint to be seen with the naked eye at its apparent visual magnitude of 8.35.[ 2] It is drifting further away from the Sun with a radial velocity of +21 km/s.[ 2]
This object is a G-type main sequence star with a stellar classification of G5V.[ 3] The physical properties this star appear similar to the Sun , making it a candidate solar analog . However, the measured abundance of elements with more mass than helium is outside the accepted range.[ 7] It is roughly two billion years in age and has an active chromosphere . The amount of activity measured in the chromosphere corresponds to a star with a rotation period of about 10 days.[ 3]
On 5 January 2010, scientists announced the discovery of two planets orbiting around HD 9446.[ 3] In addition, another exoplanet candidate is detected by astrometry in 2024.[ 8]
