BD-11 4672 B
The spectrum of BD−11 4672 matches a K-type main-sequence star, an orange dwarf, with a stellar classification of K7 V. Its age is not well constrained, but is probably older than the Sun. It is a metal-poor star, showing an iron abundance that is 35% of solar. No significant flare activity was detected. The star shows evidence of a Sun-like magnetic activity cycle with a period of 7–10 years. It has 65% of the mass and 64% of the radius of the Sun. The star is radiating 16% of the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,550 K.
Planetary system
In 2010, a team of astronomers led by astronomer C. Moutou of the High Accuracy Radial Velocity Planet Searcher performed a radial-velocity analysis, which led to the suspicion of a gas giant exoplanet in orbit around BD−11 4672. The existence of this exoplanet was confirmed in 2014. In 2020, a second exoplanet was detected on an interior and much more eccentric orbit near the inner edge of the Star's habitable zone.
