HD 68402 is a solitary star located in the circumpolar constellation Volans.
This star is located at a distance of 256 light years based on its parallax shift but is drifting away at a rate of 11.60 km/s.
[6] It radiates at 1.17[6] times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,907 K,[7] which gives it a yellow hue.
At an age of 1 billion years HD 68402[7] has a projected rotational velocity of almost 3 km/s and is metal rich like most planetary hosts (1.94 times to be exact).
[6] In 2017, a superjovian planet was discovered using doppler spectroscopy data from HARPS and CORALIE.
