data
HD 4308 is a single
[2]
star with an orbiting
exoplanet in the southern
constellation of
Tucana .
[9] It has a yellow hue and is a challenge to view with the naked eye even under good seeing conditions, having an
apparent visual magnitude of 6.54.
[2] This object is located at a distance of 72
light years , as determined from
parallax measurements. It is a
population II star
[2] and is considered to be a member of the
thick disk .
[10] The star is receding from the
Sun with a
radial velocity of +95 km/s.
[6]
This is a Sun-like
G-type main-sequence star with a
stellar classification of G6VFe-0.9,
[3] where the suffix notation indicates an underabundance of iron in the spectrum. The age of the star is poorly constrained, with estimated ranging from 1.6
[7] billion years up to 10 billion.
[8] It has 95% of the
mass of the Sun but 104% of the
Sun's radius . The star is radiating nearly the same luminosity as the Sun from its
photosphere at an
effective temperature of 5,714 K.
[7]
Planetary system
In 2005, a low-mass
planet was found in orbit around this star using the
radial velocity method with the
HARPS spectrograph . It is following a circular orbit close to its host star with a period of just 15.6 days. Unusual for a star with planets, HD 4308 has a metallicity lower than that of the Sun.
