SIMBAD data

HD 30669 is a yellowish-orange hued star located in the southern constellation Caelum, the chisel. It has an apparent magnitude of 9.11, [2] making it readily visible in small telescopes but not to the naked eye. The object is relatively close at a distance of 188 light years, based on parallax measurements from Gaia DR3. [1] Its distance from the Solar System is rapidly increasing, having a heliocentric radial velocity of 66  km/s . [4]

Characteristics

HD 30669 has a stellar classification of G8/K0 V [3] — a main sequence star with the characteristics of a star with a class of G8 and K0. It has alternatively been given a class of G9 V. It has 92% the mass of the Sun [6] and 91% its radius. [7] The object radiates 59.7% the luminosity of the Sun [8] from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,353  K [9] from its photosphere. Like most planetary hosts, HD 30669 is metal enriched, having a metallicity 35% above solar levels. [10] The star is extremely chromopsherically inactive and is estimated to be 7+14 billion years old. [11]

Planetary System

In 2015, C. Motou and colleagues discovered a long period exoplanet orbiting the star during a HARPS survey. It has nearly half the mass of Jupiter and it takes over 4+12 years to revolve HD 30669 in a slightly eccentric orbit. [7]

HD 186302 is a star in the constellation of Pavo. It is 185 light-years away from Earth, with an apparent magnitude of 8.76. It was identified in November 2018 as a potential solar sibling to the Sun. Similar by spectrum and size, it was suspected to have formed in the same stellar nursery as the Sun 4.6 billion years ago. Common origin with Sun was found to be unlikely in a 2019 paper, as HD 186302's galactic orbit is very different from Sun's.
