HD 7449 is a binary star system about 126 light-years way. The primary star, HD 7449 A, is a main-sequence star belonging to the spectral class F9.5. It is younger than the Sun. The primary star is slightly depleted of heavy elements, having 80% of solar abundance.[6]

Companion

[edit]

The stellar companion HD 7449 B, belonging to spectral class M4.5, was discovered in 2015.[8] A survey in 2017 has failed to find additional stars with masses above 0.35M in the system.[9]

The most recent parameters for HD 7449 B as of 2022 come from a combination of data from radial velocity, astrometry, and imaging, showing that it is about 178 MJ (0.17 M), and orbiting with a semi-major axis of about 34.7 AU and an orbital period of about 175 years.[4]

Planetary system

[edit]

In 2011 one super-Jupiter-mass planet, HD 7449 Ab [fr] on a very eccentric orbit around HD 7449 A was discovered utilising the radial velocity method.[6] A second, long-term radial velocity trend is present, and a second planet or brown dwarf has been proposed as the cause of this trend.[6][10] However, in 2015 a low-mass stellar companion (HD 7449 B) was found, which is likely the cause of the long-term trend. The large eccentricity of the inner planet is likely caused by this stellar companion.[3] In 2022, the inclination and true mass of HD 7449 Ab were measured via astrometry.[4]
