HD 156846 is a binary star[5] system in the equatorial constellation of Ophiuchus, positioned a degree SSE of Messier 9.[8] It has a yellow hue and is just barely bright enough to be visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 6.5.[2] The system is located at a distance of 156 light years from the Sun based on parallax.[1] It is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −68.5 km/s, and is predicted to come to within 85.0 light-years in about 476,000 years.[6]
The primary, component A, is a G-type star with a stellar classification of G1V.[4] The absolute visual magnitude of this star is 1.13 magnitudes above the main sequence, indicating it has evolved slightly off the main sequence.[2] It has 1.35 times the mass of the Sun and 2.12 times the Sun's radius.[2] The star is an estimated 2.8[6] billion years old and is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 5 km/s.[2] It is radiating five[6] times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,969 K.[2]
The magnitude 14.4 secondary companion, component B, was discovered by the American astronomer R. G. Aitken in 1910.[3] It lies at an angular separation of 5.1″ from the primary, corresponding to a projected separation of 250 astronomical unit|AU. This is a red dwarf with a class of M4V and has an estimated 59% of the Sun's mass.[5]
Planetary system
On 26 October 2007, a planet HD 156846 b was found orbiting the primary star by Tamuz, using the radial velocity method.[9] It has an orbital period of 0.98 years and a large eccentricity of 0.85. The estimated mass of this object is, at a minimum, 10.6 times the mass of Jupiter. If it were following the same orbit within the Solar System, it would have a perihelion within the orbit of Mercury and an aphelion outside the orbit of Mars.[2]
