HD 119124 is a wide
binary star
[17] system in the
circumpolar constellation of
Ursa Major . With an
apparent visual magnitude of 6.3,
[2] it lies below the normal brightness limit of stars that are visible with the naked eye under most viewing conditions. An annual
parallax shift of 39.24
[1]
mas for the A component provides a distance estimate of 83
light years . The pair are candidate members of the
Castor Moving Group ,
[18] which implies a relatively youthful age of around 200 million years.
[12] HD 119124 is moving closer to the Sun with a
radial velocity of −12 km/s.
[7]
This system was first identified as a
double star by
Friedrich von Struve (1793−1864) and catalogued as the 1774th entry in his list. As of 2015, the magnitude 10.5
K-type companion star was located at an
angular separation of 18.10
arc seconds along a
position angle of 135° from the brighter primary.
[4] They appear to be
gravitationally bound with an estimated
orbital period of around 7,000 years and a linear projected separation of 444.6
AU .
[17]
The primary, component A, is a
Sun-like star
[10] with a
stellar classification of F8 V,
[5] indicating it is an
F-type main-sequence star that is generating energy via
hydrogen fusion at its
core . It is slightly larger and more massive than the Sun
[10]
[9] and appears mildly
variable .
[19] The star is radiating 1.5
[10] times the
Sun's luminosity from its
photosphere at an
effective temperature of 6,149 K.
[11]
HD 119124 A displays a strong
infrared excess at a wavelength of 70 μm, indicating an orbiting
circumstellar disk of cold dust. The emission fits a model with a grain temperature of 40 K, indicating a minimum orbital radius of 60
AU from the host star. The estimated grain lifetimes are 84,000 years – much shorter than the star's lifespan. This suggests the grains are being replenished via collisions between some number of larger bodies totaling around 1−6 times the mass of the Moon.
[10]
This system is a likely (80.4% chance) source of the strong
X-ray emission coming from these coordinates.
