HD 11343 (HIP 8541) is a wide binary system between HD 11343 A, a K-type borderline giant star, and HD 11343 B, a red dwarf companion, located in the southern constellation of Eridanus about 500 light-years (150 pc) distant. Two gas giant exoplanets are known to orbit the primary star.

Stellar characteristics

The HD 11343 system has an apparent magnitude of 7.88,[3] making it too faint to be visible by the naked eye from Earth under most circumstances, but can be observed using binoculars[11] as an orangish dot near Achernar.

The primary component, HD 11343 A, is a red-giant branch star slightly more massive than the Sun (albeit one estimate places its mass at a significantly higher 2.0 M[8]), but approximately eight times as large in radius and 25 times as luminous. It has an effective temperature of 4,670 K (4,400 °C; 7,950 °F), corresponding to its spectral type of K2, and is slightly metal-poor, with an iron content 71% that of the Sun.[9]

During a 2021 survey[12] searching for binaries within data from Gaia DR3, the star was found to be orbited by a 13th-magnitude[10] M-dwarf, designated HD 11343 B. It is about 70% as large as the Sun both in mass and radius, is slightly cooler than the primary red giant at 4,351 K (4,078 °C; 7,372 °F), and is situated at a separation of roughly 2,600 Astronomy:astronomical unit|astronomical units (0.041 ly) from its brighter companion.[7][10]

Planetary system

In 2016, a super-Jupiter planet orbiting HD 11343 A was discovered from radial-velocity observations, alongside three other substellar companions to giant stars, namely HIP 74890 b, HIP 84056 b, and HIP 95124 b.[9] This planet, HD 11343 b, is estimated to be slightly larger than Jupiter and has a mass of 5.7 MJ,[7] close to the initially estimated minimum of 5.5 MJ.[9] It revolves around its host star at a semi-major axis of 2.8 AU (420,000,000 km), around where the asteroid belt would lie in the Solar System, every 1,585 days (4.34 years) in a mildly eccentric orbit.[9]

Another planet, HD 11343 c, was discovered in 2022 closer to HD 11343 A, also using the radial-velocity method. The planet is reportedly a Jupiter analog, larger than the previous planet but likely considerably less massive, with a minimum mass of 0.804 MJ. It orbits its star at a distance of 0.923 AU (138,100,000 km) every 228.5 days (0.626 years). Due to the faintness of the astrometric signals it produces, its orbital inclination cannot be well-constrained. The discovery paper for HD 11343 c notably presents a higher mass (7.71+0.73
−1.19
MJ), semi-major axis (3.729 AU), orbital period (5.07 years), and eccentricity (0.360) for HD 11343 b.[8]
