HD 215497 is a single [4] star in the southern constellation of Tucana. It has an orange hue with an apparent visual magnitude of 8.96, [2] which is too dim to be viewed with the naked eye. A 2015 survey ruled out the existence of any stellar companions at projected distances from 26 to 300 astronomical units. [6] Based on parallax measurements, [1] it is located at a distance of 132  light years from the Sun. The star is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +49 km/s, having come as close as 45 light-years some 774,000 years ago. [3] The absolute magnitude of this star is 5.77. [3]

The stellar classification of HD 215497 is K3V, [2] indicating this is a K-type main-sequence star that is generating energy through core hydrogen fusion. The star is about ten [4] billion years old with a low magnetic activity level and is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 1.67 km/s. [2] It is smaller than the Sun, with 86% of the Sun's mass and 87% of the radius. [4] This is a metal-rich star, which means the abundance of heavier elements in the atmosphere is significantly higher than in the Sun. [2] It is radiating 47% of the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,128 K. [4]

Planetary system

Announced in 2009, two extrasolar planets were discovered to be orbiting the star. [2] Both planets are less massive than Jupiter. The inner exoplanet HD 215497 b orbits very close to the star and is termed a "hot super-Earth". The outer exoplanet HD 215497 c is a giant planet that orbits a little bit further from the star than the Earth, at around 1.282  AU , with a high eccentricity. A check for transits of the inner planet did not reveal any passages. [7]
