HD 8673 is a binary star in the northern constellation of Andromeda. It has an apparent magnitude and absolute magnitude of 6.34 and 3.56 respectively.[1] Based upon an annual parallax shift of Script error: No such module "val"., the system is located around 124.5 light years away. The system is moving further from the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of +19 km/s.[2] A sub-stellar companion was detected in 2005; it could either be an exoplanet or a brown dwarf.
The primary component is an F-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of F7 V.[3] It has 1.36 times the mass of the Sun and 1.52 times the Sun's radius. The star is around 1.5 billion years old and is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 26.9 km/s. It is radiating 3.4 times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 6,340 K.[4]
Speckle interferometry measurements of this star between 2001 and 2008 showed a candidate stellar companion to this star, announced in 2011. It was unclear whether the pair formed a visual double or a binary system. The authors of the study estimated a class of K2 V, based upon a visual magnitude difference of Script error: No such module "val"..[6] Subsequent observations using adaptive options did not spot this companion and it was concluded this was a false detection. However, a low mass stellar companion was detected in a wide orbit. This red dwarf star has 0.33–0.45 times the mass of the Sun and is orbiting with a semimajor axis of Script error: No such module "val"..[3]
Planetary system
An orbiting sub-stellar companion with a minimum mass 14 times that of Jupiter in a high-eccentricity orbit was discovered in 2005 and confirmed in 2010. This object orbits at 3 AU away from the primary star with a period of 1,634 days and an eccentricity of 0.7.[7] In 2022, the inclination and true mass of HD 8673 Ab were measured via astrometry.[8]
