HD 70642

HD 70642 is a yellow dwarf star in the constellation of Puppis located 96 light years away.[1] This star has about the same mass and radius as the Sun, is slightly cooler and less luminous, and is richer in abundance of iron relative to hydrogen.

Planetary system

A long period planet companion to HD 70642 was announced in 2003. This planet orbits in a circular orbit (e=0.034) at 3.232 AU.[4] The star is so like Sol that its habitable zone is in the same place (~ 1 AU). The jovian ensures the stability of an Earth-mass planet at 1 AU.[5] This system is one of the most similar in conditions to the Solar System than any other currently known planetary systems.
