HD 100453 is a binary star system which lies in the constellation Centaurus about 350 light years away from the Sun and is a member of the open cluster Scorpius–Centaurus association.

Components

The apparent magnitudes of the visible components A and B are 7.8 and 15.9 respectively. The primary is a Herbig Ae/Be star, which is young but no longer accreting mass.[6] The secondary is an M4 class red dwarf star at the projected separation 120 AU from the primary.[7]

Circumstellar disks

The primary star is surrounded by two dust disks, separated by a gap. The disks are orbiting in different planes, misaligned by 72 degrees. The disk misalignment may be caused by a suspected superjovian planet orbiting within the gap,[3] roughly 15–20 AU from the primary.[8] The outer disk has a 2-arm spiral structure caused by the outer stellar companion HD 100453B.[7] The outer disk is rather massive at 0.0174M☉,[9] but is significantly depleted in gas, with a gas-to-dust mass ratio of no more than 4:1.[6]

The HD 100453A planetary system
Companion
(in order from star) 		Mass Semimajor axis
(AU) 		Orbital period
([[]]s) 		Eccentricity Inclination Radius
inner disk 0.315[3] AU 46.05+0.88
−0.92 [3]° 		—
outer disk 45[7] AU 33.80+0.77
−0.72[3]° 		—

The gas present in the disks is unusually depleted in nitrogen and hydrogen-bearing compounds and enriched in carbon monoxide.[5] Molecular hydrogen was not detected.[10] Solid silicate material present in the disks shows good crystallinity, with reduced amounts of amorphous material.[11]

No disks were detected around the companion star HD 100453B, with the upper limit on the amount of dust around it being 0.03 M🜨.[12]
