data

HD 45364 is a

light years based on parallax.[1] It is drifting further away from the Sun with a radial velocity of +16.4 km/s,[1] having come within 49 light-years some 1.5 million years ago.[2]

This object is an ordinary

extrasolar planets (or exoplanets) orbiting around it.[7]

Planetary system

HD 45364 is one of only a relative few systems that have had more than one

which means the inner planet is completing three orbits for every two orbits of the outer planet.

It was difficult to explain how such resonant configuration of planetary orbits could evolve,[8] mainly due to too high (4-5 times) orbital eccentrities, although planetary system formation models involving hydrodynamic effects were proposed.[9]

As in 2022, refined radial-velocity data shows the planetary orbits are more circular and widely spaced, therefore planets are slightly out of mean motion resonance state.[10]
