HD 95338 is a single orange (K-type) main-sequence or subgiant star, located approximately 124 light-years away in the constellation of Draco, taking its primary name from its Henry Draper Catalogue designation.

History and nomenclature

[edit]

The designation HD 95338 is from the Henry Draper Catalogue, which is based on spectral classifications made between 1911 and 1915 by Annie Jump Cannon and her co-workers, and was published between 1918 and 1924.

Characteristics

[edit]

HD 95338 is a Sun-like K-type main-sequence star. It belongs to thick disk of Milky Way.[3] It is likely same age or slightly older than the Sun and have metallicity similar to solar.

Planetary system

[edit]

In 2020, an radial-velocity analysis carried out by a team of astronomers led by astronomer Matías R. Díaz of the Magellan Planet Search Program have detected a Neptune-sized ice giant planet in orbit around HD 95338. The discovery was confirmed with the detection of primary star transit by Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite.

The planet HD 95338 b has an unusually high density for its mass, likely being composed mostly of water ice.[2]
