HD 37605 is astar in theequatorialconstellation ofOrion. It is orange in hue but is too faint to be visible to the naked eye, having anapparent visual magnitude of 8.67.[2]Parallax measurements yield a distance estimate of 152 light years from theSun. It has a highproper motion[3] and is drifting closer with aradial velocity of −22 km/s.[1]
This object is aK-type main-sequence star with astellar classification of K0 V.[3] It is aninactive,metal-rich star. Age estimates range from 1.8[4] up to 7[3] billion years old, and it is spinning with aprojected rotational velocity of 4.5 km/s.[6] The star has 98% of themass of the Sun and 89% of theSun's radius. It is radiating 60% of theluminosity of the Sun from itsphotosphere at aneffective temperature of 5,380 K.[4]
There are twogiant planets known in orbit. Planet b was discovered in 2004[8] and planet c was discovered eight years later. The planets do not transit relative to Earth; b's maximum inclination is 88.1%.[3][9]
In a simulation, HD 37605 b's orbit "sweeps clean" most test particles within 0.5 AU; leaving only asteroids "in low-eccentricity orbits near the known planet’s apastron distance, near the 1:2 mean-motion resonance" with oscillating eccentricity up to 0.06, and also at 1:3 with oscillating eccentricity up to 0.4. Also, observation has ruled out planets heavier than 0.7 Jupiter mass with a period of one year or less; which still allows for planets at 0.8 AU or more.[10]
