HD 180902 is a star with two or more orbiting companions in the southern constellation of Sagittarius. This system is located at a distance of approximately 342 light years from the Sun based on parallax measurements, but is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −2.8 km/s.[2] It has an absolute magnitude of 2.5,[4] but at that distance the apparent visual magnitude of the system is 7.8,[2] which is too faint to be seen with the naked eye.
The spectrum of the primary, component A, presents as an evolving subgiant star[5] with a stellar classification of K0 III/IV.[3] It is an estimated 2.8[4] billion years old with 1.7 times the mass of the Sun. The star has expanded to 4.2 times the radius of the Sun[2] and is radiating 9.4 times the Sun's luminosity from an enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,030 K.[4]
Companions
HD 180902 b was discovered using the Doppler spectroscopy method with observations taken at the W. M. Keck Observatory.[4] The radial velocities showed a long term linear trend in the data indicating an additional companion of unknown nature with a longer orbital period.[4] This was subsequently shown to be due to an orbiting brown dwarf or low mass stellar companion, designated component B.[5]
There is a second unconfirmed planet, HD 180902 c, with a mass at least twice that of Neptune and an orbital period of 15 days.[5]
