HD 147379 (Gliese 617) is a wide visual binary between two red dwarfs in the deep northern constellation of Draco. The two stars are located approximately 35.1 light-years (10.8 pc) distant based on Gaia DR3 parallax measurements, and approaching the Solar System at heliocentric radial velocities of −18.962 km/s and −18.36 km/s, respectively. The brighter primary star, HD 147379A, has an apparent magnitude of 8.9,[4] too faint to be seen by the naked eye from Earth but visible using binoculars.[18] The dimmer secondary, B, fluctuates in apparent magnitude between 10.69 and 10.74,[6] making it observable via a telescope with an aperture of 35 mm or larger.[19]

HD 147379A

HD 147379A (HIP 79755) is a red dwarf with a spectral type of M0.0V, about 58% the mass of the Sun, 57% the radius, and an age of 5.1+3.2
−2.4
 billion years
. It emits just over a tenth of the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,090 K (3,820 °C; 6,900 °F). It has a high metallicity of [Fe/H]=0.16±0.16 dex, meaning it has an iron content somewhere around 45% higher than the Sun.[11] It is also enriched in cobalt, but is depleted in calcium and titanium. The star shows slight variations in the TiO spectral lines.[20]

Planetary system

In 2018, two teams independently reported the discovery of an exoplanet orbiting HD 147379A, both via the radial-velocity method.[11][12] This was the first exoplanet found by the CARMENES survey.[11] The planet, commonly referred to as HD 147379 b, has a minimum mass of 21.6 ± 1.1 M, slightly more massive than Neptune (17.147 M[21]). It orbits its host star once every 86.58 days at about a third of the distance from Earth to the Sun, placing it within the conservative habitable zone of the star, where liquid water could exist.[4]

One of the teams that discovered HD 147379 b proposed another candidate planet, this one with a minimum mass of 27 M and a 500-day period, orbiting at a distance of about 1 AU.[12] However, a 2023 follow-up study did not detect such a signal. Instead, they detected a signal with a 12.3-day period, but discarded it due to the high chance of it being a false positive. Nevertheless, it is highly likely that a second planet exists interior to b's orbit.[4]

HD 147379B

A red-light light curve plotted from ZTF data[23]

HD 147379B (HIP 79762) is a gravitationally bound companion to HD 147379A at a separation of 64.4 arcseconds, which corresponds to a distance of 693.4 AU.[4]

This is a red dwarf with a spectral type of M3V, about 45% the mass of the Sun and 46% the radius. It has a "partially convective" structure, meaning that the outer convection zone does not reach down to the core,[8] as opposed to "fully convective" stars weighing less than 0.35 M that are convective throughout.[24] It too has a high metallicity of [M/H]=0.20±0.10 dex, translating to a roughly 60% excess in elements heavier than hydrogen and helium compared to the Sun. At an effective temperature of 3,525 K (3,252 °C; 5,885 °F),[8] it radiates just 2.6% the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere.[15] It rotates on its axis once every 40.4 days at a relatively slow projected equatorial velocity of 0.50 km/s.[8]

It has a magnetic field that fluctuated in strength between 36-75 G between 2020-2022, approximately 100 times stronger than Earth's magnetic field (0.22-0.67 G[25]) and similar to those of faster-rotating red dwarfs. The variations in strength are smaller than those seen in fully convective red dwarfs such as Gliese 1151.[8]

In 1994, the star was reported to have a high likelihood (99%) of exhibiting long-term variability, albeit the author noted that this may be suspect.[26] It was formally classified as a BY Draconis variable in 1997, receiving the variable-star designation EW Draconis.[6]
