HD 208527 is a star with an orbiting exoplanet located in the northern constellation of Pegasus. It has a reddish hue and is dimly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of +6.39. [2] The star is located at a distance of approximately 1,080 light years from the Sun based on parallax, [1] and is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +4.8 km/s. [3]
This was once catalogued as a K-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of K5V, but is now known as an aging red giant with a class of M1III, based on its dimensions and low surface gravity. [3] This indicates that the two-billion year old star has exhausted the supply of hydrogen at its core then cooled and expanded off the main sequence. It has an estimated 1.6 [3] times the mass of the Sun but has swollen to 58 times the Sun's radius. The star is radiating 729 [4] times the luminosity of the Sun from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,035 K. [3]
Planetary system
From September 2008 to June 2012, the team B.-C. Lee, I. Han and M.-G. Park observed HD 208527 with "the high-resolution spectroscopy of the fiber-fed Bohyunsan Observatory Echelle Spectrograph (BOES) at Bohyunsan Optical Astronomy Observatory (BOAO)". [3]
In 2012, a long-period, wide-orbiting exoplanet was deduced by radial velocity variations. This was published in November, gaining the designation HD 208527 b. Along with HD 220074 b this is one of the first two planets proposed around an M-type red giant. [3]
