HD 134606 is a yellow-hued star with a planetary system, positioned in the southern constellation of Apus. It is below the nominal limit for visibility with the naked eye, having an apparent visual magnitude of 6.86.[2] Based upon an annual parallax shift of 37.3 mas, it is located 87.44 light-years away. The star appears to be moving further from the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of +1.9 km/s.[1]

This is an evolving G-type subgiant star with a stellar classification of G6 IV[3] and is not considered active, having a chromospheric activity index of −5.04.[6] It has about the same[7] mass as the Sun but is 25% more luminous.[2] The photosphere is radiating energy at an effective temperature of 5,614 K.[7] It has a higher than solar metallicity – a term astronomers use to describe the abundance of elements other than hydrogen and helium.[7]

There is a companion star of spectral type M3V at a separation of ~1500 AU, designated L 72-1.[8][4] This companion presents a bimodal distribuition of the Gaia DR3 G-band light-curve, indicating that it is a close binary.[9]

Planetary system

[edit]

The discovery of a planetary system orbiting HD 134606 was announced in 2011 following an eight-year survey carried out at the La Silla Observatory in Chile. The detection was made via the radial velocity method using the HARPS instrument. Applying a Keplerian fit to the data suggests the presence of three planets in moderately eccentric orbits.[10] None of the planetary orbits displays a mean motion resonance with the others.[11]

The system was updated by a 2024 study, which confirmed the three previously reported planets, though with a longer period for planet d, and detected two new ones. While all five planets are very likely to be real, the study advises caution regarding planet f due to the similarity of its period to the lunar cycle. The five planets range from super-Earth to super-Neptune mass, and the outermost, HD 134606 d, is a small gas giant orbiting within the habitable zone that may be a candidate for future space-based direct imaging missions. A long-period radial velocity trend was also detected, suggesting the presence of a distant sixth substellar companion of some kind.[4]
