HD 65216

Summary

HD 65216 is a triple[4] star system with two exoplanetary companions in the southern constellation of Carina. With an apparent visual magnitude of 7.97[2] it cannot be readily seen without technical aid, but with binoculars or telescope it should be visible. The system is located at a distance of 114.7 light-years from the Sun based on parallax measurements, and is drifting further away with a radial velocity of 42.6 km/s.[1]

The primary, component A, is an ordinary G-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of G5V.[3] It is nearly two billion years old[5] and is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 1.3 km/s.[6] The star has 95% of the mass and 86% of the radius of the Sun. It is radiating 72% of the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,718 K.[5]

In 2008 a co-moving binary system of low mass companions were discovered at an angular separation of 7 from the primary, which is equivalent to a projected separation of 253 AU at the distance of HD 65216. Component B is of class M7–8 (0.089 M) while component C is class L2–3 (0.078 M); both have a mass close to the sub-stellar limit. The pair have a projected separation of 6 AU from each other.[4]

Planetary system edit

An extrasolar planet (designated as HD 65216 b) was discovered orbiting the primary in 2003.[8] A second much more distant planet was suspected since 2013,[9] but was discovered on a completely different orbit in 2019.[10]
