HD 29587 is a Sun-like [7] star with a candidate brown dwarf companion [8] in the northern constellation of Perseus. It has an apparent visual magnitude of 7.29, [2] which means it is too faint to be viewed with the naked eye. Based upon an annual parallax shift of 36.3 mas, [1] it is located 89.8 light years away. The star is moving away from the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of +113 km/s, [1] having come to within 55.8 ly some 148,000 years ago. [2] It is a hyper-velocity halo [7] star moving at a rate of 170 km/s relative to the local standard of rest. [9]
This ancient star has a stellar classification of G2 V, [3] matching a G-type main-sequence star. It has 78% of the mass of the Sun and is radiating 80% of the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,709 K. [3]
Formerly an IAU radial velocity standard, this star was found to have a variable radial velocity due to a suspected orbiting companion. [8] The a sin i value for the unseen object is 0.0957 ± 0.0108 AU (14.31 ± 1.62 Gm), [4] where a is the semimajor axis and i is the orbital inclination – providing a lower bound for the semimajor axis. The secondary object most likely has a mass in the range 41.0–97.8 MJ, making it a probable brown dwarf. [10]
