HD 154345 is a star in the northern constellation of Hercules. With an apparent visual magnitude of +6.76[1] it is a challenge to view with the naked eye, but using binoculars it is an easy target.[9] The distance to this star is 59.6 light years based on parallax, but it is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −47 km/s.[2] At least one exoplanet is orbiting this star.[10]

The stellar classification of HD 154345 is G8V,[3] matching an ordinary G-type main-sequence star that is generating energy by core hydrogen fusion. The magnetic activity cycle of this star is correlated with the radial velocity variations induced by its putative planetary companion.[11][12] It is around four[4] billion years old and is spinning with a rotation period of 28 days.[7] The star is smaller and less massive than the Sun. It is radiating 62% of the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,557 K.[4]

Planetary system

In 2006, a long-period, wide-orbiting planet was observed by radial velocity, and published in May 2007, gaining the designation HD 154345 b.[10] It has been called a "Jupiter twin".[13] While the existence of HD 154345 b has been unclear due to the correlation of its orbital period with the star's activity cycle,[11] a study in 2021 confirmed its planetary nature.[14]

The complete observation of its nine-year orbit rules out any interior planets of minimum mass (m sini) greater than 0.3 Jupiter.[13] The star rotates at an inclination of 50+40−26 degrees relative to Earth.[7] It is probable that the planet shares that inclination.[15][16] In 2023, the inclination and true mass of HD 154345 b were determined via astrometry, consistent within the margin of error with the stellar rotational inclination.[17] More precise measurements found a nearly edge-on inclination.[5]

The system's habitable zone stretches from 0.64 astronomical unit|AU out to 1.26 AU, and is narrower than the Sun's. It forms a stable region where an Earth-mass exoplanet could orbit.[18]
