HD 152843 (also designated as TOI-2319) is a single star with a pair of close-orbiting exoplanets,[4] located in the northern constellation of Hercules. It is positioned at a distance of 356 light years from the Sun based on parallax measurements,[2] and at that range is too faint to be viewed with the naked eye, having an apparent visual magnitude of 8.85.[4] The system is receding further away with a radial velocity of 10 km/s.[2]
This is a G-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of G0.[4] It has 1.15 times the mass and 1.43 times the girth of the Sun. Around four billion years of age,[4] HD 152843 is a quiet star, showing very little magnetic activity in its chromosphere.[7] The abundance of iron, a measure of the star's metallicity, is somewhat lower than in the Sun. It is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 8.4 km/s.[4]
Planetary system
This star has two confirmed exoplanets orbiting it, being designated HD 152843 b and HD 152843 c. Both were discovered using NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) when they were observed transiting their host star.[4]
HD 152843 b is the closest planet to HD 152843, orbiting its host star in just 11.62 days. The planet has 9.8 Earth masses and 3.1 Earth radii. The planet orbits the star at a distance of 0.105 astronomical units (au), has an orbital eccentricity of 0.05, and has an orbital inclination of 89.3°.[8][7]
HD 152843 c is the second planet in the star system and farthest planet from its star. It has 9.7 Earth masses and 5.9 Earth radii. It orbits its host star at a speed of 7.1 kilometers a second, with its orbital eccentricity being 0.07 and an orbital inclination of 89.2°.[8] Its low density of 0.253+0.059
−0.057 g⋅cm−3 makes it a super-puff planet.[7]
