Star in the constellation Monoceros
HD 46375 is double star [ 10] with an exoplanetary companion in the equatorial constellation of Monoceros . It presents as an 8th-magnitude star with an apparent visual magnitude of 7.91,[ 2] which is too dim to be readily visible to the naked eye. The system is located at a distance of 96.5 light-years from the Sun based on parallax measurements,[ 1] but is slowly drifting closer with a radial velocity of −1 km/s.[ 1] The common proper motion stellar companion, designated HD 46375 B, has a linear projected separation of 346± 13 AU .[ 10]
The primary component is a solar-type[ 8] star with a stellar classification of G9V,[ 3] matching a G-type main-sequence star . Age estimates for this star range from 2.6[ 8] up to 11.9[ 6] billion years. It is a chromospherically inactive star and is spinning slowly[ 5] with a projected rotational velocity of 0.86 km/s.[ 9] The absolute magnitude of this star places it one magnitude brighter than the equivalent for a zero age main sequence .[ 5] It has 91% of the mass and 101% of the radius of the Sun. The star is radiating 77%[ 6] of the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 3,663 K.[ 7]
This star has sometimes been classified as a member of the NGC 2244 star cluster in the Rosette Nebula , but in reality it just happens to lie in the foreground. The distance to the cluster is much greater, about 4500 light-years.
Planetary system
On March 29, 2000, the planet HD 46375 b with a minimum mass three quarters that of Saturn was discovered by Marcy , Butler , and Vogt in California , together with 79 Ceti b .[ 12] [ 5] This planet was discovered using the "wobble method" or radial velocity method , which calculates the rate and shape of the stellar wobble caused by the revolving planet's gravity.
