SIMBADdata

HD 136164, also known as HIP 75056, is a binary star system in the constellation Lupus. At an apparent magnitude of +7.76, it is far too faint to be visible to the naked eye. Parallax measurements give a distance of 398 light-years (121.9 parsecs). The primary is orbited by a brown dwarf.

Characteristics

This is a visual binary system whose components, as of 2015, are separated by 5.195" in the sky, translating to a projected separation of 650 astronomical units. The orbital period is estimated at 8,000 years.[5] The system is 16 million years old and is part of the Upper–Centaurus–Lupus stellar association.[6]

The primary component, HD 136164 A, has a spectrum matching a spectral class of A2V,[4] with the luminosity class 'V' indicating it is a main sequence star fusing atoms of hydrogen into helium at its core. The star has 1.87 times the mass[6] and 1.66 times the radius of the Sun.[7] It radiates 12.65 times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere[1] at an effective temperature of 8,100 K.[6] This temperature gives it the white hue typical of an A-type stars.[10]

The secondary has a mass of 0.30 M.[8]

Substellar companion

The primary star is orbited by a brown dwarf named HD 136164 Ab or HIP 75056 Ab. It was first discovered in 2020 through direct imaging.[5] The companion orbits at a semi-major axis of 22.5 astronomical units, has a mild eccentricity,[6] and takes roughly 130 years to circle the host star.[5] Relative to Earth, the orbit is nearly face-on, with an inclination less than 35°.[6]

Based on observations of the brown dwarf's orbit using both relative and absolute astrometry, its mass is measured at 35±10 Jupiter masses. Comparing its spectrum to atmospheric models retrieve a radius of 1.9 RJ and an effective temperature of 2,640 K. The luminosity is estimated at 10−2.68+0.08
−0.05
 L from evolutionary models. The carbon-to-oxygen abundance ratio and relatively high eccentricity of the orbit suggest that the companion formed like a failed star, either via fragmentation of the circumstellar disk or via fragmentation of a molecular cloud.[6]
