HD 133131 is a binary star in the constellation of Libra. It is 168 light-years (51.5 parsecs) away from the Sun. [3] It consists of two G-type main-sequence stars; [3] neither are bright enough to be seen with the naked eye. The star was first catalogued as a binary in 1972. [11] [3]
Both components, HD 133131 A and B, are very similar to the Sun but are far older, about 6 billion years old. They also have low metallicities (50% of solar abundance), and HD 133131A is additionally depleted in heavy elements compared to HD 133131B, indicating a possibly past planetary engulfment event for HD 133131 B. [6]
In 2016, two planets orbiting HD 133131A and one planet orbiting HD 133131B were discovered utilizing the radial velocity method. All three are long-period giant planets. [3]
