HD 154345 is a

light years based on parallax, but it is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −47 km/s.[1] At least one exoplanet is orbiting this star.[9]

The

rotation period of 28 days.[6] The star is smaller and less massive than the Sun. It is radiating 62% of the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,557 K.[4]

Planetary system

In 2006, a long-period, wide-orbiting

planet was observed by radial velocity, and published in May 2007, gaining the designation HD 154345 b.[9] It has been called a "Jupiter twin".[12] While the existence of HD 154345 b has been unclear due to the correlation of its orbital period with the star's activity cycle,[10] a study in 2021 further confirmed its planetary nature.[13]

The complete observation of its nine-year orbit rules out any interior planets of minimum mass (m sini) greater than 0.3 Jupiter.[12] The star rotates at an inclination of 50+40
−26
degrees relative to Earth.[6] It is probable that the planet shares that inclination.[14][15] In 2023, the inclination and true mass of HD 154345 b were determined via astrometry, consistent within the margin of error with the stellar rotational inclination.[16]

The system's habitable zone stretches from 0.64 AU out to 1.26 AU, and is narrower than the Sun's. It forms a stable region where an Earth-mass exoplanet could orbit.[17]
