HD 63454, formally named Ceibo, is a star located in the southern circumpolar constellation Chamaeleon near the border with Mensa. To see the star, one needs a small telescope because it has an apparent magnitude of 9.36, [2] which is below the limit for naked eye visibility. The object is located relatively close at a distance of 123 light years based on Gaia DR3 parallax measurements [1] but is receding with a heliocentric radial velocity of 33.8 km/s . [5] At its current distance, HD 63454's brightness is diminished by two tenths of a magnitude due to interstellar dust. [13] It has an absolute magnitude of +6.68. [6]
HD 63454 has a stellar classification of K3 V(k), [3] indicating that it is a K-type main-sequence star with some infilling of the calcium K and H lines. [14] It has 79% the mass of the Sun [7] and 80% the Sun's radius. [8] It radiates 28.7% the luminosity of the Sun [1] from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,840 K , [9] giving it an orange hue. HD 63454 has a solar metallicity [10] and is estimated to 1.52 billion years old, [7] a third the age of the Sun. It spins modestly with a projected rotational velocity of 2.6 km/s . [11]
On Valentine’s Day 2005, a hot Jupiter HD 63454 b was found by Claire Moutou, Michel Mayor, and François Bouchy using the radial velocity method. [5]
After the 2019 IAU100 NameExoWorlds campaign, the International Astronomical Union, approved the names proposed from Uruguay: Ceibo for the star and Ibirapitá for the planet, respectively after the native Uruguayan tree species Erythrina crista-galli and Peltophorum dubium . [15]
These names were announced on 17 December 2019, at a press conference of the IAU in Paris, together with other 111 sets of exoplanets and host stars. [16] Ceibo and Ibirapitá were proposed by Adrián Basedas, from the Astronomical Observatory of Liceo Nº9, Montevideo, Uruguay, who won the national contest "Nombra Tu Exoplaneta", [17] organized in Uruguay, to name HD 63454 and HD 63454 b.
