HD 39194

Star in the constellation Mensa

HD 39194 (Gliese 217.2; LHS 210) is a star located in the southern circumpolar constellation Mensa. It has an apparent magnitude of 8.07,[2] making it readily visible in binoculars but not to the naked eye. The object is relatively close at a distance of 86 light years[1] but is receding with a heliocentric radial velocity of 13.9 km/s.[6]

Characteristics

HD 39194 has a general stellar classification of K0 V,[3] indicating that it is a K-type main-sequence star. Houk & Cowley found a slightly warmer class of G8 V,[13] instead making it a G-type main-sequence star. Nevertheless, it has 71% the mass of the Sun[8] and an effective temperature of 5,205 K,[11] giving an orange hue. It radius of 0.74 R☉[9] yields a luminosity only 38% that of the Sun.[10] HD 39194 is estimated to be 11.7 billion years old[8] and is extremely chromospherically inactive.[3] Despite being a planetary host, it has an iron abundance only 24% that of the Sun.[11] HD 39194's projected rotational velocity is similar to the Sun's, with the value being 2 km/s.[12]

Planetary system

Three planet candidates around this star were first reported in a 2011 preprint.[14] After 10 years of observations, a team of astronomers confirmed 3 super-Earths circling HD 39194 in eccentric orbits;[10] none of the planets are in the habitable zone. HD 39194 b and d have similar masses.

This star was selected as a potential candidate for future exoplanet imaging missions in 2015.[9]
