HD 134060

HD 134060, also known by its Gould designation of 38 G. Circini, is a star in the southern constellation of Circinus. It is near the lower limit of stars visible to the naked eye, having an apparent visual magnitude of 6.29.[2] The distance to HD 134060, as determined using an annual parallax shift measurement of 41.59 mas,[1] is 78.4 light years. It is moving further away with a heliocentric radial velocity of 43.5 km/s, having come within 34.6 ly some 439,000 years ago.[4]

During the NStars project, Grey et al. (2006) found a stellar classification of G0 V Fe+0.4 for this star,[3] matching a Sun-like G-type main-sequence star with an overabundance of iron in its outer atmosphere. However, an older classification of G3 IV[2] is still used, which would suggest it is instead a more evolved subgiant star. HD 134060 has an estimated 1.07 times the mass of the Sun and 1.15 times the Sun's radius.[2] It is radiating 1.63[4] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of about 5,965 K.[2]

The survey in 2015 have ruled out the existence of any additional stellar companions at projected distances from 22 to 163 astronomical units.[8]

Planetary system

Based upon an 8-year survey using the HARPS spectrograph at La Silla Observatory, in 2011 the detection of a pair of planets orbiting this star were announced. The inner planet, HD 134060 b, is in a tight, eccentric orbit around the star with a period of just over three days. The second object, HD 134060 c, has a more leisurely period of around 3.2 years and a high orbital eccentricity.[9]

The star was observed for a few hours by the Spitzer Space Telescope in the hopes of observing a transit by the inner planet, but none was detected.[2] HD 134060 displays an infrared excess at a wavelength of 18μm, making it a warm debris disk candidate.[10]
