SIMBAD data

HD 187123 is a single, [7] yellow-hued star with two exoplanetary companions in the northern constellation of Cygnus. It has an apparent visual magnitude of 7.83, [2] making it an 8th magnitude star that is too faint to be visible with the naked eye. However, it should be easy target with binoculars or small telescope. The system is located at a distance of 150  light years from the Sun based on parallax measurements, but is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −17 km/s. [1]

This is an ordinary G-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of G2V. [3] The physical properties of this star are sufficiently similar to the Sun that it has been considered a solar analog, although the metallicity is higher. [8] It is estimated to be five or six billion years old and is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 2 km/s. [5] The star has a similar mass to the Sun but is slightly larger with 117% of the Sun's radius. It is radiating 1.44 times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,853 K. [4]

Planetary system

In 1998 the California and Carnegie Planet Search team, after following a suggestion by Kevin Apps, a Briton who at the time was an undergraduate student [9] found a possible planet orbiting the star. [10] There were also indications of another, more distant body orbiting the star and this claim was published in 2006. [11] This planet was confirmed in 2009. [12] The presence of water has been detected in the atmosphere of HD 187123 b with high confidence. [13]

HD 49674 is a solar-type star with an exoplanetary companion in the northern constellation of Auriga. It has an apparent visual magnitude of 8.10 and thus is an eighth-magnitude star that is too faint to be readily visible to the naked eye. The system is located at a distance of 140.6 light-years from the Sun based on parallax, and is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +12 km/s.

HD 210277 is a single star in the equatorial constellation of Aquarius. It has an apparent visual magnitude of 6.54, which makes it a challenge to view with the naked eye, but it is easily visible in binoculars.

HD 28185 is a yellow dwarf star similar to the Sun located 128 light-years away from Earth in the constellation Eridanus. The designation HD 28185 refers to its entry in the Henry Draper catalogue. The star is known to possess one long-period extrasolar planet.

HD 142 is a wide binary star system in the southern constellation of Phoenix. The main component has a yellow-white hue and is dimly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.7.

HD 114762 is a triple star system approximately 125 light-years (38.2 pc) away in the constellation Coma Berenices. It consists of a yellow-white F-type main-sequence star (HD 114762 A) and two red dwarf companions (HD 114762 Ab & HD 114762 B) approximately 0.36 & 130 AU distant. Both are low-metal subdwarfs. Planets around such metal-poor stars are rare. A telescope or strong binoculars are needed to view the primary. HD 114762 had been used by scientists as a "standard star", one whose radial velocity is well established, but with the discovery of the spectroscopic companion HD 114762 Ab its usefulness as a standard has been called into question.
