HD 196050 is a triple star [9] [3] system located in the southern constellation of Pavo. This system has an apparent magnitude of 7.50 [2] and the absolute magnitude is 4.01. [2] It is located at a distance of 165 light-years (51 parsecs ) from the Sun based on parallax, and is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +61 km/s. [1] It is also called by the Hipparcos designation HIP 101806.
The primary component is a G-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of G3V. [4] It has a quiescent chromosphere and does not appear to be variable. [9] The star has 18% [6] more mass than the Sun and a 46% greater size. It is around 2.5 billion years old with a higher than solar metallicity, and is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 3 km/s. [5] The star is radiating 2.21 [6] times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,834 K. [6]
A faint co-moving companion star, designated component B, was detected based on observations during 2003–2004, [9] located 10.80″ [3] to the south of the primary component. This corresponds to a projected separation of 7,511±22 AU . [9] The star is magnitude 10.62 [3] A third companion, component C, was discovered in 2007, located about 0.4″ from component B. [10] It has a visual magnitude of 15.6. [3]
In 2002, the Anglo-Australian Planet Search team announced the discovery of an extrasolar planet orbiting the star. [11] The discovery was independently confirmed by the Geneva Extrasolar Planet Search team. [7] In 2023, the inclination and true mass of HD 196050 b were determined via astrometry. [12]
