HD 154857 is a star with two exoplanetary companions in the southern constellation of Ara. It is too dim to be visible with the naked eye having an apparent visual magnitude of 7.25.[2] The star is located at a distance of 207 light years from the Sun based on parallax measurements, and is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +28 km/s.[1]

This is a G-type star with a stellar classification of G5IV-V.[3] The absolute magnitude of this star is two magnitudes above the main sequence, which suggests that the star is evolving toward the subgiant stage.[3] It is a metal-poor thin disk star[9] approximately six billion years old and is chromopherically quiet although not in a Maunder Minimum state.[4] The star is larger, more massive, and more luminous than the Sun. It is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 1.4 km/s.[7]

Planetary system

The discovery of one confirmed and one unconfirmed Jovian exoplanet was reported in 2004[3] and 2007[10] respectively. The former planet HD 154857 b has mass >1.8 times that of Jupiter. It orbits the star 20% further than Earth-Sun distance, taking 409 days with 47% eccentricity. The additional object (HD 154857 c) was confirmed as a planetary companion in January 2014.[5]
