HIP 107773 is a star located 344 light years from Earth in the southern constellation Indus. [2] [note 1] It is classified as a horizontal branch K-type giant star, [2] [3] having a spectral type K0III [1] and a radius of 11.6 R☉. [5] With an apparent magnitude of 5.6, the star can be faintly seen with the naked eye. [1] It has an exoplanet, HIP 107773 b, a gas giant orbiting it at a distance of 0.72 astronomical units (108,000,000 km), [6] about the same distance from Venus to the Sun. [a]
HIP 107773 is a giant star, having a spectral type K0III, [1] where K0 means it is a K-type star and III ( luminosity class) means it is a giant star. The star is in the horizontal branch phase of evolution. [3] [2] HIP 107773 has a radius equivalent to 11.6 solar radii, and a mass equivalent to about 2.4 solar masses. [3] It is cooler than the Sun, having an effective temperature of 4,945 K (4,672 °C). [3] [b] Given the mass and the evolutionary stage of the star, its age is estimated to be at least about one billion years. [2]
HIP 107773 has an exoplanet, HIP 107773 b, discovered in 2015 using the radial velocity method. [6] [3] The planet is classified as a gas giant, having a minimum mass of 2 MJ [3] and an estimated radius of 1.19 RJ. [6] It orbits its star at a distance of 0.72 astronomical units (108,000,000 km), about the same distance as Venus is from the Sun, [a] and completes one orbit every 144 days (0.39 years). [3] Its orbit is almost circular, with an eccentricity of just 0.09. [3]
With a mass of 2.4 M☉, the star HIP 107773 is one of the most massive stars with a close-in planet. [3] [9]
