HD 44219 is a solar-type star[9] with an exoplanetary companion in the equatorial constellation of Monoceros.
The system is located at a distance of 173 light-years from the Sun based on parallax measurements, but is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −12 km/s.
[1] This is an ordinary G-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of G3V.
[3] L. Casagrande and associates in 2011 estimated the age of the star as 5.4 billion years,[7] while A. Bonfanti and colleagues listed a much greater age of nearly 10 billion years in 2015.
It is radiating 1.83 times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,749 K.[4] In 2009, a Jovian planet was found in a highly eccentric orbit around the star by the HARPS planet search program.
