HD 221420 (HR 8935; Gliese 4340) is a likely binary star system[7] in the southern circumpolar constellation Octans. It has an apparent magnitude of 5.81, allowing it to be faintly seen with the naked eye. The object is relatively close at a distance of 102 light years but is receding with a heliocentric radial velocity of 26.5 km/s.
HD 221420 has a stellar classification of G2 IV-V,[3] indicating a solar analogue with a luminosity class intermediate between a subgiant and a main sequence star. The object is also extremely chromospherically inactive.[3] It has a comparable mass to the Sun and a diameter of 1.95 R☉.[7] It shines with a luminosity of 4 L☉[8] from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,830 K,[9] giving a yellow glow. HD 221420 is younger than the Sun at 3.65 billion years.[7] Despite this, the star is already beginning to evolve off the main sequence. Like most planetary hosts, HD 221420 has a metallicity over twice of that of the Sun[7] and spins modestly with a projected rotational velocity 2.8 km/s.[11]
There is a mid-M-dwarf star with a similar proper motion and parallax to HD 221420, which is likely gravitationally bound to it. The two stars are separated by 698 arcseconds, corresponding to a distance of 21,756 AU.[7]
Planetary system[edit]
In a 2019 doppler spectroscopy survey, an exoplanet was discovered orbiting the star. The planet was originally thought to be a super Jupiter, having a minimum mass of 9.7 MJ.[9] However, later observations using Hipparcos and Gaia astrometry found it to be a brown dwarf with a high-inclination orbit,[7][10][14] revealing a true mass of 23 MJ.[7]
