HD 156279 is a star with a pair of orbiting exoplanets[9] located in the northern constellation of Draco.[1] It has various alternate designations, including HIP 84171 and BD+63 1335. Parallax measurements yield a distance of 118 light years from the Sun,[2] but it is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −20 km/s.[5] Despite an absolute magnitude of 5.25,[1] at that distance the star is too faint to be visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 8.17.[3] It is presumed to be a single star, as in 2019 all imaging surveys have failed to find any stellar companions.[3]
The spectrum of HD 156279 has a stellar classification of G6[4] or K0,[3] depending on the study. Hence it presents as an ordinary main sequence star[4] of the late G-type or early K-type. The star has 93% of the mass of the Sun and 94% of the Sun's radius. HD 156279 is roughly seven[7] billion years old and is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 2.5 km/s.[4] Based on the abundance of iron, this star is slightly enriched in heavy elements, having 140% of the solar abundance.[3] It is radiating 70%[7] of the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,449 K.[7]
Planetary system
Orbiting HD 156279 are two superjovian planets, the inner HD 156279 b (discovered in 2011)[4] and outer HD 156279 c (discovered in 2016).[9] In 2022, the inclination and true mass of HD 156279 c were measured for the first time, using the astrometry technique.[10]
