Mu2 Octantis (μ2 Oct) is a binary star system in the constellation Octans, whose primary and secondary stars have apparent magnitudes of +6.481 and 7.153, respectively.[2] Based on parallax measurements, it lies 130.3 light-years away.[1][3]
The two stars, HD 196067 and HD 196068 (also named μ2 Oct A and μ2 Oct B), are separated at 17 arcseconds in the sky, corresponding to 740 astronomical units (AU). The semimajor axis of the stars' orbit is 932 AU.[4]
Component A is a G-dwarf star with 1.33 and 1.73 times of the Sun's mass and radius, respectively. Component B also a G-type main-sequence star with a radius 1.19 times larger than the Sun. Their effective temperatures are similar. HD 196068 has a higher metallicity than its companion, the reasons for this are uncertain.[7]
Planetary system
From 1998 to 2012, the system was observed using the CORALIE instrument, at the ESO's La Silla Observatory.[4]
In November 2012, a long-period, wide-orbiting planet was deduced by radial velocity around HD 196067. The planet has been pulled to an eccentric orbit by the B star HD 196068. The planet's true mass, as measured by astrometry, is 12.5 |♃|J}}}}}}, placing it right on the traditionally adopted boundary between planets and brown dwarfs.[9]
A second, innermost planet was detected using radial velocity observations with the CORALIE, HARPS, and ESPRESSO observatories. Despite its small orbit, it does not transit the host star.[8]
