BD−17 63 is a low-mass K-type main-sequence star in the southern constellation Cetus. It is a 10th magnitude star at a distance of 113 light-years from Earth.[1] The star is rotating slowly with a negligible level of magnetic activity and an age of over 4 billion years.[5]

The star BD-17 63 is named Felixvarela. The name was selected in the NameExoWorlds campaign by Cuba, during the 100th anniversary of the IAU. Felix Varela (1788–1853) was the first to teach science in Cuba.[7][8]

Planetary system

In October 2008 an exoplanet, BD−17 63 b, was reported to be orbiting this star on an eccentric orbit. This object was detected using the radial velocity method by search programs conducted using the HARPS spectrograph.[5] An astrometric measurement of the planet's inclination and true mass was published in 2022 as part of Gaia DR3,[9][10] with another astrometric orbital solution published in 2023.[11]
