Stellar system
The primary star, HD 109749 A, is a G-type subgiant with a spectral type of G3IV,[3] indicating it is an evolved star with a luminosity higher than that of a main sequence star. It has a mass of 1.14 M☉ and a radius of 1.21 R☉. The star is shining with a luminosity of 1.55 L☉ and has an effective temperature of 5,860 K. Evolutionary models estimate an age of 4.1 billion years.[4] HD 109749 A is chromospherically inactive and has a high metallicity, with an iron abundance 78% larger than the Sun's.[3]
The secondary star, HD 109749 B, is a K-type main sequence star with an apparent magnitude of 10.3.[5] It has a mass of about 0.78 M☉ and is located at a separation of 8.4 arcseconds, which corresponds to a projected separation of 500 AU. This star has the same proper motion as the primary and seems to be at the same distance, confirming they form a physical binary system.[6]
Planetary system
In 2005, an exoplanet was discovered around HD 109749 A. It was detected by the radial velocity method as part of the N2K Consortium. It is a hot Jupiter with a minimum mass of 0.28 MJ and a semimajor axis of 0.06 AU.[3]
