HD 220689
Star in the constellation Aquarius
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
HD 220689 is a single[8] star in the equatorial constellation of Aquarius. It is a challenge to view with the naked eye, having an apparent visual magnitude of +7.74,[1] but is readily viewed with a pair of binoculars.[9] The star is located at a distance of 153 light years from the Sun based on parallax, and is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +12 km/s.[2] A survey in 2015 has ruled out the existence of any additional stellar companions at projected distances from 26 to 305 astronomical units.[8]

The stellar classification of HD 220689 is G3V,[3] matching a yellow hued G-type main-sequence star that is generating energy through core hydrogen fusion. It is roughly 4.6 billion years old and is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 5.5 km/s,[6] giving it a rotation period of around 29 days.[4] The star has a similar size, mass, and elemental abundances as the Sun. It is radiating 1.5[5] times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,921 K.[4]
Planetary system
From 1998 to 2012, the star was under observation from the CORALIE echelle spectrograph at La Silla Observatory. In 2012, a long-period, wide-orbiting exoplanet was deduced from radial velocity variations. This was published in November.[10] The maximum orbital period allowing for dynamic stability of a hypothetical inner planet is 3.9 years.[4] In 2023, the inclination and true mass of HD 220689 b were determined via astrometry.[11]
