HD 142 is a wide binary star[5] system in the southern constellation of Phoenix. The main component has a yellow-white hue and is dimly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.7.[3] The system is located at a distance of 85.5 light years from the Sun based on parallax measurements, and is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +6 km/s.[19]

The primary component is an F-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of F7V,[6] which indicates it is undergoing core hydrogen fusion. It is an estimated 2.5 billion years old[12] and is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 10 km/s.[15] The star has 1.25 times the mass of the Sun[12] and 1.4 times the Sun's radius. It is radiating 2.9 times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere[13] at an effective temperature of 6,349 K.[12]

A magnitude 11.5[5] companion star was detected in 1894 making this a binary star system.[20] The binary companion was confirmed to be gravitationally bound in 2007 and determined to be a red dwarf of spectral type K8.5-M1.5[7] with 54% of the Sun's mass.[21] The pair have a projected separation of 120.6 AU.[21]


Planetary system

[edit]

In 2001, the Anglo-Australian Planet Search team led by Chris Tinney announced the discovery of an extrasolar planet orbiting the primary star.[22][23] An additional linear trend in the radial velocity data was noticed in 2006[24] that could have been due to another planet or to the stellar companion.[25] In 2012, additional measurements allowed the detection of a second planet. A third possible planet with a period of 108 days was seen in the data, but with a false alarm probability of five percent.[26] Another paper by the same team updated the parameters for b and c but did not mention the possible planet d.[27]

An astrometric measurement of HD 142 b's inclination and true mass was published in 2022 as part of Gaia DR3.[28] Another 2022 study determined the inclination and true mass of planet c, and confirmed the existence of planet d.[29]
