HIP 70849 is a star with two non-stellar companions in the southern constellation Lupus. It is a 10th magnitude star, making it too faint to be visible to the naked eye.[2] The system is located at a distance of 78.7 light-years from the Sun based on parallax measurements.[1]

This is a K-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of K7Vk,[3] where the 'k' indicates interstellar absorption features in the spectrum. The star is magnetically active with a 10.1±1.4 yr starspot cycle. It appears about 3.6 billion years old and the light emission shows a 41.2 day periodicity, which is likely the rotation period.[6] This star, which resembles a brighter red dwarf, is smaller and less massive than the Sun. It is radiating just 9%[6] of the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,103 K.[7]

The companion is a T4.5 brown dwarf companion orbiting it at a separation around ~9,000 AU.[9][10]

Planetary system

[edit]

In 2009, a gas giant planet was found in orbit around it.[11] Designated HIP 70849 b, it has 4.55 times the mass of Jupiter and takes 10.05 years to orbit at a semimajor axis of 4.04 AU, with a high eccentricity.[5]
