HD 89744 is a star in the northern circumpolar constellation of Ursa Major, positioned about 0.4° due south of the bright star Tania Australis (μ UMa).[13] This object has a yellow-white hue and is dimly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.73.[2] The distance to this star has been measured using the parallax method, which locates it 126 light years from the Sun. It is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −4.4 km/s.[2] There are two known exoplanets orbiting this star.

At various times the star HD 89744 has been assigned a stellar classification of F7V,[4][14] F7IV-V,[15] and F8IV,[5][2] suggesting it is an F-type main-sequence star that is evolving onto the subgiant branch. It is ~8.4[9] billion years old with an inactive chromosphere[15] and is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 9.3 km/s.[10] The star is 2.16[8] times the size of the Sun with 1.4[7] times the Sun's radius. It is a high metallicity star, showing a greater abundance of heavier elements than in the Sun. The star is radiating 6.4[9] times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 6,381 K.[7]

This star was identified as a member of the AB Doradus moving group by J. López-Santiago and collaborators in 2006.[16] It was later shown that its evolutionary state is incompatible with membership.[17]

In 2001, a faint co-moving companion was identified at an angular separation of 63.1 from the primary.[18] This is equivalent to a linear projected separation of 2,456 AU (0.04 ly).[11] The companion, designated component B, is an L-class (~L0.5)[4] brown dwarf[18] with a mass of ~0.076 M.[11]

Planetary system

edit

In April 2000, a planet was discovered using radial velocity measurements taken at Fred Lawrence Whipple Observatory and Lick Observatory.[14] The orbital parameters were updated in 2006 and 2007 using additional measurements.[19][20] A second planet with a much longer period was discovered in 2019.[21]
