HD 164922 is a seventh magnitude G-type main sequence star in the constellation of Hercules. To view it, binoculars or a telescope are necessary, as it is too faint to be visible to the naked eye. It is 71.7 light-years (22.0 parsecs) distant from the Earth.[1] It will soon evolve away from the main-sequence and expand to become a red giant.[citation needed]

Nomenclature

[edit]

The name HD 164922 derives directly from the fact that the star is the 164,922nd star listed in the Henry Draper catalog. The designation b for its planet derives from the order of discovery. The designation of b is given to the first planet found orbiting a given star, followed by the other lowercase letters of the alphabet.[5] In the case of HD 164922, only one was discovered, which was designated b, followed by three more planets, which were designated c, d, and e.[3][6]

Stellar characteristics

[edit]

HD 164922 is a G-type main sequence star that is approximately 87% the mass of and 99% the radius of the Sun. It has a temperature of 5390 K and is about 10 billion years old,[2] with estimates ranging as high as 13.4 billion years.[4] In comparison, the Sun is about 4.6 billion years old[7] and has a temperature of 5778 K.[8]

The star is metal-rich, with a metallicity ([Fe/H]) of 0.16, or 144% the solar amount. This is particularly odd for a star as old as HD 164922. Its luminosity (L) is 70% of the solar luminosity.[3]

Planetary system

[edit]

On 15 July 2006, a long period Saturn-mass exoplanet was announced orbiting around HD 164922. This planet orbits at 2.11 AU from the star with a low eccentricity value of 0.05.[9]

Almost exactly ten years later in 2016, another exoplanet, though less massive than the first planet, was discovered orbiting farther in from the star. This planet has a minimum mass of nearly 13 times that of Earth, meaning it is possibly a Neptune-like planet.[3]

A third exoplanet, a hot super-Earth, was discovered in 2020,[2] and a fourth, Neptune-mass, in 2021.[6]
