HD 131664

HD 131664 is an 8th magnitude star in the southern constellation of Apus with an orbiting brown dwarf companion. Parallax measurements by the Gaia space observatory provide an estimated distance of 172.5 light years from the Earth. The system is moving further away with a baseline heliocentric radial velocity of +35 km/s.[1]

The stellar component is an ordinary G-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of G3 V.[3] The star is particularly metal-rich ([Fe/H] = 0.28)[6] in comparison with the mean metallicity of the solar neighborhood. It is about 2.3 billion years old with a projected rotational velocity of 3 km/s.[5] The star has 110% of the mass of the Sun and 116%[4] times the Sun's radius. It is radiating 160%[2] of the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,901 K.[5]

The discovery of a planet in orbit around HD 131664 was announced on October 26, 2008 and designated HD 131664 b.[9] The object was detected from Doppler measurements of the host star between 2004 and 2008.[4] This planet or brown dwarf has mass of at least 18.15[4] times that of Jupiter and orbits in a long-period, eccentric orbit that completely overlaps the star's habitable zone.[10] This period (1,951 days or 5.34 years) is among the dozen longest exoplanet periods known, as of 2009.[4] Follow-up studies with the Hipparcos satellite further constrained the predicted mass of the companion, providing a best estimate of 23+26
