HD 66141 is a single[7] star in the equatorial constellation of Canis Minor. It has the Bayer designation G Canis Minoris,[5] the Gould designation 50 G. Canis Minoris,[6] and has the HR 3145 identifier from the Bright Star Catalogue.[5] When first catalogued it was in the Puppis constellation and was designated "13 Puppis", but it subsequently migrated to Canis Minor.[8] Bode gave it the Bayer designation of Lambda Canis Minoris.[9]
Properties
This star has an orange hue and is bright enough to be faintly visible to the naked eye on a dark night, having an apparent visual magnitude of +4.39.[2] It is located at a distance of approximately 254 light years from the Sun based on parallax,[1] and is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +71.6 km/s.[2] The star is considered a member of the thin disk population.[4] It has one known exoplanet companion.[10]
The stellar classification of HD 66141 is K2IIIbFe-0.5:,[3] which indicates an evolved K-type giant star with a mild underabundance of iron. It is an estimated nine billion years old with 0.98 times the mass of the Sun and has expanded to 21 times the Sun's radius.[4] Over 2003 to 2012 a starspot was periodically dimming its light.[10] The star is radiating 166 times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,328 K.[4]
A magnitude 10.32 visual companion was reported by J. Glaisher in 1842. As of 2015, it was located at an angular separation of 224.90 arcseconds along a position angle of 315°.[11]
Planetary system
From December 2003 to January 2012, the team B.-C. Lee, I. Han, and M.-G. Park observed HD 66141 with "the fiber-fed Bohyunsan Observatory Echelle Spectrograph (BOES) at Bohyunsan Optical Astronomy Observatory (BOAO)".[10]
In 2012, a long-period, wide-orbiting exoplanet was deduced by radial velocity. This was published in November.
