HD 203473 is a star in the equatorial constellation Equuleus. With an apparent magnitude of 8.23, [2] it’s only visible by using an amateur telescope. The star is located at a distance of 237 light years [1] based on its parallax shift but is drifting closer at a high rate of 61.7 km/s. [1] As of 2014, no stellar companions have been detected around the star. [7]

HD 203473 is an ordinary G-type main-sequence star with 82% the mass of the Sun, [4] but is 48% larger than the latter. [5] This star is over luminous and hot for its class, with it radiating at 2.31 the luminosity of the Sun [5] and an effective temperature of 5,847 K. [5] HD 203473 has different age estimates, either being 5 [4] or 8 [6] billion years old. The higher luminosity and low projected rotational velocity of 1 km/s [6] favors the older age estimate. Like many planetary hosts, HD 203473 has an enhanced metallicity, with an iron abundance 1.51 times that of the Sun. [4]

Companion

In 2018, the N2K project discovered an object, initially thought to be a planet, orbiting the star via Doppler spectroscopy. Due to the detection method, its inclination and true mass were initially unknown. [8] In 2022, the inclination and true mass of this companion were measured via astrometry, revealing it to be 96  MJ and thus either a massive brown dwarf or low-mass star. The companion's orbital period was also found to be twice as long as originally thought. [9]
