HD 204313 is a star with two and possibly three exoplanetary companions in the southern constellationofCapricornus. With an apparent magnitude of 7.99,[2] it is an eighth magnitude star that is too faint to be readily visible to the naked eye. The star is located at a distance of 157 light years from the Sun based on parallax measurements, but it is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −10 km/s.[1]
This is an ordinary G-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of G5V,[3] which indicates it is generating energy through hydrogen fusion at its core. It is an estimated four billion years old, chromospherically extremely quiet,[7] and is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of just 0.8 km/s.[5] The star has a slightly larger mass and radius compared to the Sun. It is radiating 118% of the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,783 K.[4]
This star was in observation by the CORALIE radial velocity planet-search program since the year 2000. In August 2009, a superjovian planetary companion was announced.[8] Two years later, a hot Neptune HD 204313 c on a 35-day orbit was announced,[9] followed by a third Jupiter-like planet candidate HD 204313 d on a 2800-day orbit, which was announced in 2012.[10] Assuming that planet d exists, planets b & d are apparently orbiting close to a 7:5 mean motion resonance, which may be stabilizing their periods.[11]
A 2015 study independently confirmed the first two discoveries, but did not detect any significant signal at the claimed period of planet d.[12] Another study in 2022 agreed with these results, in addition to finding a new planet or brown dwarf, designated HD 204313 e to differentiate it from the dubious candidate. The inclination and true mass of planets b & e were measured via astrometry.[13]
