BD−08°2823 is a

angular rate of 0.369″ yr−1.[9]

This is an ordinary

rotation period of around 27 days.[7] This star is smaller, cooler, and less massive than the Sun. Its metal content is slightly lower than in the Sun.[4] The star is radiating 24% of the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,746 K.[7]

Planetary system

In 2009, two planets were found in orbit around the star. They were discovered using the

radial velocity method with the HARPS spectrograph in Chile, despite the data noise introduced through surface activity. The inner planet has a minimum mass equal to 14.4±2.1 times the mass of the Earth, while the outer planet is at least one third the mass of Jupiter.[7]
