HD 102272 is a star in the equatorial constellation of Leo. With an apparent visual magnitude of 8.69,[2] it is too faint to be visible to the naked eye. The star is located at a distance of approximately 1,140 light years based on parallax measurements, but is drifting closer to the Sun with a radial velocity of −12 km/s.[2] As of 2008, two extrasolar planets are known to orbit the star.[5]

This is an evolved giant star[2] with a stellar classification of K0.[3] It is an estimated eight billion years old and has expanded to eight times the Sun's radius. The star has about the same mass as the Sun and is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 2 km/s. It is radiating 25 times the luminosity of the Sun from its swollen photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,750 K.[2]

Planetary system

[edit]

In June 2008, the discovery of two extrasolar planets orbiting the star was announced.[5] The planets were detected using the radial velocity method with the Hobby-Eberly Telescope. The radial velocity data clearly shows the presence of the inner planet (HD 102272 b). Although there is evidence for another planet, there is insufficient data to unambiguously determine its orbit.[3] The pair are close to a 4:1 orbital resonance with the outer planet in a high eccentricity orbit.[6]
