HD 43317 is a variable star in the equatorial constellation of Orion, the hunter. It has an apparent visual magnitude of 6.63,[2] which is faint enough to be a challenge to view with the naked eye under good conditions. Based on parallax measurements, it is located at a distance of approximately 1,050 light years from the Sun. It is drifting further away with a heliocentric radial velocity of about 13 km/s.[6] This star is a member of an open cluster designated OCSN 63.[9]

Observations

[edit]

During 2009–2010, HD 43317 was observed by the CoRoT space telescope during the LRa03 (long run) sequence for asteroseismological purposes. This program lasted for a period of 150.41 days, during which the star was under almost constant observation. After being combined with HARPS data, the star was classified as a hybrid slowly pulsating B-type star and a Beta Cephei variable. Both g (gravity) and p (pressure) mode pulsations were detected. It is spinning rapidly at about half of its critical velocity.[10]

The photometry and spectrometry of HD 43317 showed rotational modulation of regions with temperature or chemical differences. These are an indirect indicator of a magnetic field. In addition, X-ray emission was detected by ROSAT, which also suggests a potential magnetic field. A magnetic field was directly detected with the Téléscope Bernard Lyot during 2012. The longitudinal field strength was found to vary with the 21.5 h rotation period, ranging from −140 G to 180 G.[11] Modelling of the star's dipolar field found a strength between 1 and 1.5 kG. This is strong enough to force uniform rotation in the outer radiative zone of the star.[5]

The CoRot light curve of the star displays 35 different frequencies, of which 28 are not related to the rotation period. Seismic modeling of the star determined a stellar mass equal to 5.8 times the mass of the Sun. At the core, the central mass fraction of hydrogen is 54%, compared to 70% for a newly formed main sequence star and 0.1% at the end of main sequence lifetime. Spectroscopic analysis shows an effective temperature of around 17,350 in the stellar atmosphere. A refined estimate of the surface magnetic field strength found a value of 1,312±332 G.[12] The magnetic field near the core has a seismically modelled strength of 5×105 G. HD 43317 is the first main sequence star for which an interior magnetic field strength has been inferred.[3]

This star has an estimated radius of 3.39 times the girth of the Sun,[7] and is radiating 737.5[2] times the Sun's luminosity. It is about 28.4 million years old.[7]
