HD 3443 is a binary system composed of medium-mass main sequence stars in the constellation of Cetus about 50 light years away.

System

[edit]

This binary star system, with an orbital semimajor axis 8.9 AU, has not had any circumstellar dust detected as of 2020.[8] While the habitable zones of the stars stretch from 0.55 to 0.95 AU from the stars, planetary orbits with a semimajor axis beyond 1.87 AU would become unstable due to the influence of the binary companion.[12]

Properties

[edit]

The star system is enriched in oxygen compared to the Solar System, having 140% of solar oxygen abundance,[13] but is depleted in heavier elements, having 75% of solar abundance of iron.[2]
