HD 170469 is a probable binary star[7][4] system in the equatorial constellation of Ophiuchus. It is too faint to be viewed with the naked eye, having an apparent visual magnitude of 8.21.[2] The system is located at a distance of 197 light years away from the Sun based on parallax. It is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −59 km/s,[3] and is expected to come to within 49.8 light-years in about 959,000 years.
The primary, component A, is a G-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of G5V,[3] indicating it is generating energy through core hydrogen fusion. Estimates of the star's age range from five[2] to almost nine[6] billion years. It has 1.10 times the mass of the Sun and 1.24 times the Sun's radius.[5] The star has a higher than solar metallicity.[3] It is radiating 1.64[1] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,786 K.[3]
The secondary companion, component B, is located at an angular separation of 43.21″±0.10″ along a position angle of 112.55°±0.07° from the primary, as of 2018.[3] Initially it was thought to be a red dwarf of spectral class M1,[4] but was later determined to be a K-type main-sequence star with a class of K5V.[3] This star lies at a projected separation of 2708 AU[4] from the primary, and is orbiting with an estimated period of around 114,000 years.[7]
Planetary system
[edit]In 2007, a planet was discovered by the N2K Consortium, led by principal investigators Debra Fischer and Gregory P. Laughlin.[9] It was spotted using the radial velocity method, and was independently confirmed in 2014.[4]
