HD 126614 is atrinary star [ 14] system in theequatorial constellation ofVirgo . The primary member, designated component A, is host to anexoplanetary companion. With anapparent visual magnitude of 8.81,[ 1] it is too faint to be seen with the naked eye. The system is located at a distance of 239 light years from theSun based onparallax measurements,[ 2] but is drifting closer with aradial velocity of −33 km/s.[ 8]
The primary is alate G-type star with astellar classification of G8IV.[ 5] It is a supermetal-rich star; among the most metal-rich stars currently known.[ 15] This is most likely anevolving subgiant star , but the very high metallicity makes comparisons to standard spectral types difficult.[ 16]
In 2010, a close stellar companion was resolved and designated component C. This object is a faintred dwarf at anangular separation of 0.5″ , which corresponds to a projected physical separation of ~ 36 AU .[ 16] More recent observations usingradial velocity andastrometry have refined the parameters of HD 126614 C. It has an orbital period of about 60 years, with a smallersemi-major axis of 15 AU and a very low mass of81.1 M J .[ 9] This mass is very near the mass limit allowed forhydrogen fusion .
The outer companion, designated LP 680-57, was first reported in 1960 with theW. J. Luyten proper motion catalog.[ 17] It is a magnitude 17.0 red dwarf with a class of M5.5,[ 7] located at anangular separation of 41.90″ from the primary along aposition angle of 299°, as of 2015.[ 17] They have a physicalprojected separation of 3,040 AU .[ 7] Thecommon proper motion of the system has been confirmed, indicating that they are gravitationally bound.[ 16] Many multiple star catalogues still refer to this companion as component B, as it was known prior to the discovery of the closer companion.[ 17]
A Doppler search for giant planets begun in 1997 at theKeck Observatory provided an 11 year baseline for detecting periodicity in the primary star's radial velocity data. In 2010, a Jovian companion was announced with anorbital period of 3.41 years.[ 6] In 2022, the inclination and true mass of HD 126614 Ab were measured viaastrometry .[ 9]
