HD 70642 is a star with an exoplanetary companion in the southern constellation of Puppis. It has an apparent visual magnitude of +7.17,[2] which is too dim to be readily visible to the naked eye. The system is located at a distance of 95.5 light-years (29.3 parsecs) from the Sun based on parallax measurements, and is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +49.3 km/s.[1] It came to within 55.3 ly of the Solar System some 329,000 years ago.[2]
This may be considered to be a solar analog star, being similar in physical properties to the Sun.[5] It is a G-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of G6V CN+0.5.[3] It is comparable to the age of the Sun, estimated to be in the range of 2–6 billion years old. Although chromospherically inactive a magnetic field has been detected.[5] This star has about the same mass and radius as the Sun, is slightly cooler and less luminous,[4] and is richer in abundance of iron relative to hydrogen.[5] It is spinning at a leisurely rate, showing a projected rotational velocity of 1.6 km/s.[6]
Planetary system
[edit]A long period planetary companion to HD 70642 was announced in 2003. This planet orbits in a circular orbit (e=0.034) at 3.232
