HD 99109 is an orange-hued star with an exoplanetary companion in the constellation of Leo. It has an absolute visual magnitude of +9.10, [2] which is too faint to be visible to the naked eye. The distance to this system is 179  light-years based on parallax, and it is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +33 km/s. [1] The star is one and half degrees away from the celestial equator to the south.

The stellar classification of this star is G8/K0IV, [3] matching a late G or early K-type subgiant star. It appears to be past the end of its main sequence lifetime, having exhausted the supply of hydrogen at its core. [7] The star is 93% as massive as the Sun and has 90% of the Sun's radius. [5] It is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of ~2 km/s [6] and has over twice the abundance of iron relative to hydrogen than the Sun. The star is radiating 56% of the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,270 K. [5] As of 2006, one extrasolar planet has been confirmed to be orbiting the star. [6]

The star HD 99109 is named Shama. The name was selected in the NameExoWorlds campaign by Pakistan, during the 100th anniversary of the IAU. Shama ( شمع ) is an Urdu literary term meaning a small lamp or flame. The exoplanet companion is called Perwana, meaning 'moth' in Urdu, alluding to the eternal love of an object circling a source of light. [9] [10]

Planetary system

The planet HD 99109 b has an orbit comparable in eccentricity to the planet Mars in the Solar System but has a mass at least half that of Jupiter. Stability analysis reveals that Earth-size planets could have stable orbits in the planet's Trojan points, located 60 degrees ahead and behind the planet's position in its orbit. [7]
