HD 47186 is a star with a pair of orbiting exoplanets in the southern constellation of Canis Major. The system is located at a distance of 122 light years from the Sun based on parallax measurements, and is drifting further away with a radial velocity of 4.2 km/s.[4] Although it has an absolute magnitude of 4.64,[1] at the distance of this system the apparent visual magnitude is 7.63;[1] too faint to be seen with the naked eye. It has a high proper motion, traversing the celestial sphere at an angular rate of 0.272″·yr−1.[8]
The spectrum of HD 47186 matches a G-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of G6V.[3] It is an estimated 5.5[5] billion years old and is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 2 km/s.[6] The star has 5% greater mass and a 12% larger girth compared to the Sun.[5] The abundance of iron, a measure of the star's metallicity, is 1.7 times more than the Sun, making it metal-rich.[6] HD 47186 is radiating 1.2 times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,736 K.[5]
Planetary system
[edit]Announced in June 2008, two extrasolar planets were discovered orbiting the star. Both planets are less massive than Jupiter. The inner planet HD 47186 b orbits close to the star and is termed a “hot Neptune”. The outer planet HD 47186 c orbits in a similar distance from the star as the asteroid Vesta, at around 2.4 AU. The inner planet orbits in a circular path while the outer planet orbits in an eccentric path.[9]
