Oddities
[edit]Frankly the data for this star seems messed up. The orbital period seems way too low for an a sin i value of 0.0341 AU. Also, reasonable values of i would put the companion well inside the star. Ah well. Hopefully a new source will come along and clear it up. Praemonitus (talk) 15:41, 8 October 2018 (UTC)
- The a sin i value is just for the orbit of the primary star around the system's center of mass. Since this is a single lined binary, the size of the companion's orbit is not measured. The small orbit of the primary indicates that the companion has a very small mass, for the center of mass to be so close to the primary. The planetary system table indicates the companion has a minimum mass of 60 MJ and a semimajor axis of 2.5 AU. Jolielegal (talk) 23:28, 8 October 2018 (UTC)
