HD 10647 (q1 Eridani) is a 6th-

extrasolar planet
was discovered orbiting this star in 2003.

Planetary system

In 2003,

CORALIE data was finally published in 2013.[3]

The

circumstellar disk.[7] Out of the 300 nearest Sun-like stars, the disk has the highest fractional luminosity out of all of them.[8] It is unusually bright, but not unusually massive; the lower bound of the mass is 8 times that of the Earth.[8]

The inclination of the disk is relatively high,[9] and the disk is asymmetrical, being more extended in the northeast direction than the southwest.[8] It extends from 34 astronomical units (AU) at the inner edge to 134 AU at the outer edge. The inner edge is sharp, suggesting the existence of a planet that carved out the edge. HD 10647 b, with a semimajor axis of about 2 AU, is too far to be responsible. However, other potential planets may be responsible for this feature.[8]

There is some evidence for an additional, warm asteroid belt-like component further in, at 3 to 10 AU away from the star.[8]
