HIP 5158 is a star with a pair of orbiting substellar companions, located in the equatorial constellationofCetus,[1] the whale. It has the older designation CD-23 395, which is derived from the Cordoba Durchmusterung catalogue of southern stars.[6] Based on parallax measurements, it is located 169 light years from the Sun. It has an absolute magnitude of 7.11,[1] but at that distance the star has an apparent visual magnitude of 10.16,[1] which is too dim to be visible to the naked eye. The system is receding with a radial velocity of 15.3 km/s,[4] and it has a relatively high proper motion, traversing the celestial sphere at an angular rateof0.205″·yr−1.[7]
The spectrum of HIP 5158 matches an ordinary K-type main-sequence star,[8] an orange dwarf, with a stellar classification of K5V.[3] The age of this star is poorly constrained, but it appears to be comparable to the Sun.[5] It is spinning slowly with a rotation period of around 42.3 days. Based on the abundance of iron, this star appears metal rich, having concentration of heavy elements equal to 125% of solar abundance.[3] It has 75% of the mass of the Sun and 60% of the Sun's radius. The star is radiating just 19% of the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,571 K.[5]
In 2009, a gas giant planet HIP 5158 b was found in orbit around the star. The quadratic drift in the radial velocities did indicate the presence of an additional outer planet in the system,[3] which was confirmed in 2011. The large uncertainty in the mass of HIP 5158 c leaves in question whether this is an exoplanet or a brown dwarf.[8]
