HD 68402 is a solitary star located in the circumpolar constellation Volans. With an apparent magnitude of 9.09, [2] it is invisible to the naked eye but can be seen with an amateur telescope. This star is located at a distance of 256 light years based on its parallax shift but is drifting away at a rate of 11.60 km/s. [4]

HD 68402 has a classification of G5 IV/V, [3] which indicates that it is a G5 star with the characteristics of a subgiant and main-sequence star. Contrary to its classification, it is actually a G1 dwarf. [6] At present it is slightly more massive than the Sun and has a similar radius to the latter. [6] It radiates at 1.17 [6] times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,907 K, [7] which gives it a yellow hue. At an age of 1 billion years HD 68402 [7] has a projected rotational velocity of almost 3 km/s and is metal rich like most planetary hosts (1.94 times to be exact). [6]

Planetary system

In 2017, a superjovian planet was discovered using doppler spectroscopy data from HARPS and CORALIE. [6] In 2023, the inclination and true mass of HD 68402 b were determined via astrometry. [8]
