HR 1614 (284 G. Eridani, GJ 183) is a star in the constellation Eridanus. Based upon parallax measurements, it is about 28.8 light-years (8.8 parsecs ) distant from the Earth. [2] It is a main sequence star with a stellar classification of K3V. [3] The chromosphere has an effective temperature of about 4,945 K, [8] which gives this star the orange hue characteristic of K-type stars. [12] It has about 84% of the Sun's mass and 78% of the Sun's radius. [7]

Contents

It is considered a metal-rich dwarf star, which means it displays an unusually high portion of elements heavier than helium in its spectrum. This metallicity is given in term of the ratio of iron to hydrogen, as compared to the Sun. In the case of HR 1614, this ratio is about 90% higher than the Sun. [13] The activity cycle for this star is 11.1 years in length. [14] Based upon gyrochronology, the estimated age of this star is 4.5 Gyr. [11]

A 2015 study estimates that in around 10,460 years, HR 1614 will make its closest approach to the Sun at a distance of 1.8  ly (0.55  pc ), although other studies predict a perihelion passage at 0.65–1.30 ly (0.2–0.4 pc) in 1.4 myr. [15] This system is a member of a moving group of at least nine stars that share a common motion through space. The members of this group display the same abundance of heavy elements as does HR 1614, which may indicate a common origin for these stars. The space velocity of this group relative to the Sun is 59 km/s. [16] The estimated age of this group is 2 Gyr, suggesting a corresponding age for this star. [10]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Eta Arietis</span> Star in the constellation Aries

Eta Arietis, Latinized from η Arietis, is the Bayer designation for a star in the northern constellation of Aries. It is dimly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.231. With an annual parallax shift of 33.34 mas, the distance to this star is approximately 97.8 light-years. It is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +4.5 km/s.

HD 4628 is a main sequence star in the equatorial constellation of Pisces. It has a spectral classification of K2.5 V and an effective temperature of 5,055 K, giving it an orange-red hue with a slightly smaller mass and girth than the Sun. HD 4628 lies at a distance of approximately 24.3 light years from the Sun based on parallax. The apparent magnitude of 5.7 is just sufficient for this star to be viewed with the unaided eye. The star appears to be slightly older than the Sun—approximately 5.4 billion years in age. The surface activity is low and, based upon the detection of UV emission, it may have a relatively cool corona with a temperature of one million K.

Gliese 673 is an orange dwarf star in the constellation Ophiuchus. It has a stellar classification of K7V. Main sequence stars with this spectra have a mass in the range of 60–70% of solar mass (M☉).

41 G. Arae, also known as GJ 666, is a trinary star system in the constellation Ara 28.7 light-years from the Sun. Although often called just 41 Arae, it is more accurate to call it 41 G. Arae, as the number 41 is the Gould designation.
