Star in the constellation Ursa Major
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
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]
