data

HD 106515 is a binary star (and currently visual triple system) in the constellation of Virgo.

The A and B stars are both K-type main-sequence stars, both somewhat smaller and cooler than the Sun. The two are gravitationally bound and separated at 310 AU. The binary semimajor axis is 390 AU. [5]

The third star in the visual triple, BD−06°3533, is a physically unrelated background star. [2]

Properties

HD 106515 AB is a wide binary system which was first observed by Jérôme de Lalande in 1795. [2]

The discovery of HD 106515 Ab was announced in a preprint submitted on September 12, 2011. [11] The discovery was made using radial velocity measurements obtained at the CORALIE spectrograph located at La Silla Observatory. [5] Confirmation of the discovery was made by a separate team using the Galileo National Telescope at the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory on the island of La Palma in the Canary Islands, Spain. [12] Initially announced as an exoplanet, [11] astrometric observations in 2021 have found that the true mass is significantly higher than its minimum mass predicted from radial velocity, so it is likely a brown dwarf. [13] A 2022 study found a true mass closer to the minimum mass, but the parameters are less well constrained. [14]

HD 164604 is a single star in the southern constellation of Sagittarius constellation. It has the proper name Pincoya, as selected in the NameExoWorlds campaign by Chile, during the 100th anniversary of the IAU. Pincoya is a female water spirit from southern Chilean mythology who is said to bring drowned sailors to the Caleuche so that they can live in the afterlife. A 2015 survey ruled out the existence of any additional stellar companions at projected distances from 13 to 340 astronomical units. It is known to host a single super-Jupiter exoplanet.
