HD 126614 is a trinary star[14] system in the equatorial constellation of Virgo. The primary member, designated component A, is host to an exoplanetary companion. With an apparent visual magnitude of 8.81,[7] it is too faint to be seen with the naked eye. The system is located at a distance of 239 light years from the Sun based on parallax measurements,[1] but is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −33 km/s.[8]

Stellar system

[edit]

HD 126614 A

[edit]

The primary is a late G-type star with a stellar classification of G8IV.[4] It is a super metal-rich star; among the most metal-rich stars currently known.[15] This is most likely an evolving subgiant star, but the very high metallicity makes comparisons to standard spectral types difficult.[16]

HD 126614 C

[edit]

In 2010, a close stellar companion was resolved and designated component C. This object is a faint red dwarf at an angular separation of 0.5, which corresponds to a projected physical separation of ~ 36 AU.[16] More recent observations using radial velocity and astrometry have refined the parameters of HD 126614 C. It has an orbital period of about 60 years, with a smaller semi-major axis of 15 AU and a very low mass of 81.1 MJ.[9] This mass is very near the mass limit allowed for hydrogen fusion.

HD 126614 B

[edit]

The outer companion, designated LP 680-57, was first reported in 1960 with the W. J. Luyten proper motion catalog.[17] It is a magnitude 17.0 red dwarf with a class of M5.5,[6] located at an angular separation of 41.90″ from the primary along a position angle of 299°, as of 2015.[17] They have a physical projected separation of 3,040 AU.[6] The common proper motion of the system has been confirmed, indicating that they are gravitationally bound.[16] Many multiple star catalogues still refer to this companion as component B, as it was known prior to the discovery of the closer companion.[17]

Planetary system

[edit]

A Doppler search for giant planets begun in 1997 at the Keck Observatory provided an 11 year baseline for detecting periodicity in the primary star's radial velocity data. In 2010, a Jovian companion was announced with an orbital period of 3.41 years.[5] In 2022, the inclination and true mass of HD 126614 Ab were measured via astrometry.[9]
