This is a Sun-likemain sequence star with a stellar classification of G1V CH-04.[5] It has about 5% greater mass than the Sun,[9] and is considered young with an estimated age of 400 million years.[12] As such, it has a similar luminosity to the Sun despite being more massive. Although the abundance of elements is similar to the Sun, it is a Barium star that is overabundant in elements produced through the s-process.[15] HD 147513 is suspected of being a variable star.[16]
HD 147513 is a member of the Ursa Major moving group that share a common proper motion through space. It has a nearby co-moving companion: a DA-class white dwarf located some 5,360AU distant, where an AU is the average separation of the Earth from the Sun. At one time the pair may have been members of a multiple star system. The progenitor of the white dwarf may have been a closer companion, and while passing through the asymptotic giant branch stage of its evolution, could have transferred matter onto HD 147513 and contaminated this star's photosphere.[15]
Supposed planetary system
In 2002, the Geneva Extrasolar Planet Search Team announced the discovery of an extrasolar planet orbiting the star.[8] Based upon the orbital elements, most of this gas giant's orbit lies within the habitable zone (HZ) of the host star; it only passes outside this region at apogee. As such, it is unlikely that a terrestrial planet could have a stable orbit within the HZ unless it moves in a synchronized fashion with the gas giant. Numerical simulations suggest that such a planet could orbit within the L4 or L5Lagrangian points of the gas giant.[17]
The planet, however, has not been independently confirmed by other studies, and in 2025 a paper reported a non-detection, suggesting that the original observations were likely in error.[18]
