HD 27894 is a single star with a system of orbiting exoplanets, located in the southern constellation of Reticulum.
[1] This system lies at a distance of 142.5 light years from the Sun, as determined via parallax measurements, and is drifting further away with a radial velocity of 83 km/s.
[5] The spectrum of HD 27894 presents as a K-type main-sequence star, an orange dwarf,[6] with a stellar classification of K2 V.[3] This is a quiescent solar-type star that displays no significant magnetic activity in its chromosphere[9] and is spinning slowly with a rotation period of roughly 44 days.
[6] The abundance of iron in the star is much higher than in the Sun, an indicator that it is metal-rich.
The star is radiating 33% of the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,923 K.[7] In 2005, the Geneva Extrasolar Planet Search Team announced the discovery of an extrasolar planet orbiting the star.
