Wide binary star system in the constellation Phoenix
HD 142 is a widebinary star [ 5] system in the southernconstellation ofPhoenix . The main component has a yellow-white hue and is dimly visible to the naked eye with anapparent visual magnitude of 5.7.[ 3] The system is located at a distance of 85.5 light years from theSun based onparallax measurements, and is drifting further away with aradial velocity of +6 km/s.[ 17]
The primary component is anF-type main-sequence star with astellar classification of F7V,[ 6] which indicates it is undergoingcore hydrogen fusion . It is an estimated 2.5[ 12] billion years old and is spinning with aprojected rotational velocity of 10 km/s.[ 13] The star has 1.25 times themass of the Sun and 1.4 times theSun's radius . It is radiating 2.9 times theluminosity of the Sun from itsphotosphere at aneffective temperature of 6,338 K.[ 12]
A magnitude 11.5[ 5] companion star was detected in 1894 making this abinary star system.[ 18] The binary companion was confirmed to begravitationally bound in 2007 and determined to be ared dwarf ofspectral type K8.5-M1.5[ 7] with 54% of the Sun's mass.[ 14] The pair have a projected separation of 120.6 AU .[ 14]
In 2001, theAnglo-Australian Planet Search team led byChris Tinney announced the discovery of anextrasolar planet orbiting the primary star.[ 19] [ 20] An additional linear trend in theradial velocity data was noticed in 2006[ 21] that could have been due to another planet or to the stellar companion.[ 22] In 2012, additional measurements allowed the detection of a second planet. A third possible planet with a period of 108 days was seen in the data, but with a false alarm probability of five percent.[ 23] Another paper by the same team updated the parameters for b and c but did not mention the possible planet d.[ 24]
Anastrometric measurement of HD 142 b's inclination and true mass was published in 2022 as part ofGaia DR3 .[ 25] Another 2022 study determined the inclination and true mass of planet c, and confirmed the existence of planet d.[ 26]
