HD 215152 is the Henry Draper Catalogue designation for a star in the zodiac constellation of Aquarius. It has an apparent visual magnitude of 8.13,[2] meaning it is too faint to be seen with the naked eye. Parallax measurements made by the Hipparcos and Gaia spacecraft provide distance estimates of around 70 light years.[1] The star has a relatively high proper motion,[7] moving across the sky at an estimated 0.328 arc seconds per year along a position angle of 205°.[8]
This star has a stellar classification of K3 V,[3] which indicates that it is an ordinary K-type main sequence star. Based upon observation of regular variations in chromospheric activity, it has a rotation period of 36.5±1.6 days.[9] Stellar models give an estimated mass of around 76% of the Sun.[6] It has a slightly lower metallicity than the Sun,[6] and thus has a lower abundance of elements other than hydrogen and helium. The effective temperature of the stellar atmosphere is about 4,803 K, giving it the orange-hued glow of an ordinary K-type star.[10]
HD 215152 is a candidate for possessing a debris disk—a circumstellar disk of orbiting dust and debris. This finding was made through the detection of an infrared excess at a wavelength of 70 μm by the Spitzer Space Telescope. The detection has a 3σ level of certainty.[11]
HD 215152 has a total of four confirmed sub-Neptune mass planets, all of which are probably rocky. With all of the planets orbiting within 0.154 A.U., it is a very close system. The inner two are separated by only 0.0098 A.U., or about four times the distance between the Earth and the Moon. This is unusual for systems discovered by radial velocity measurements.[12] In 2011, it was reported that two planetary candidates (c and d) had been detected in close orbit around this star. The planets were discovered through Doppler spectroscopy using the HARPS spectrograph at La Silla Observatory in Chile. Their presence was revealed by periodic variations in the radial velocity of the host star due to gravitational perturbations by the orbiting objects. In 2018, two more planets were confirmed. [13] All planets have brief orbital periods: the four planets orbit every 5.76, 7.28, 10.86 and 25.2 days respectively.[14] Their probable masses range between 1.7 and 2.9 Earth masses.
Also, there is a gap between orbits of HD 215152 d and HD 215152 e, which may contain fifth, yet-undetected terrestrial low-mass planet.
