HD 129445 (HIP 72203; LTT 5856) is a star located in the southern constellation Circinus. It has an apparent magnitude of 8.80,[2] making it faintly visble in binoculars but not to the naked eye. The object is located relativelyt close at a distance of 219 light-years based on Gaia DR3 parallax measurements but it is drifting away with a spectroscopic radial velocity of 8.56 km/s.[1] It has an absolute magnitude of +4.73,[2] which is similar to the Sun's absolute magnitude of 4.83.

Physical characteristics

[edit]

HD 129445 has a stellar classification of G6 V,[3] indicating that it is an ordinary G-type main-sequence star like our Sun, albeit a bit cooler. It has 106% the mass of the Sun[4] and 118% the radius of the Sun.[5] It radiates 1.23 times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,605 K,[5] giving it a yellow hue when viewed in the night sky. HD 129445 is extremely metal enriched with an iron abundance more than twice of that of the Sun's[4] and it spins slowly with a projected rotational velocity of 1.4 km/s.[6] It is slightly older than the Sun at the age of 4.94 billion years.[4]

Planetary system

[edit]

The star was observed by the Magellan Planet Search Program due to its absolute visual magnitude and high metallicity. The Magellan program conducted 17 doppler velocity measurements, which spans a full orbital period. The results led the program to detect a planet dubbed HD 129445 b.[8][9][10] In 2023, the inclination and true mass of HD 129445 b were determined via astrometry.[11]
