HD 30177
The spectrum of HD 30177 matches a late G-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of G8V. It is a yellow dwarf with a mass and radius similar to the Sun that is fusing hydrogen in its core. The chromosphere shows a negligible level of magnetic activity. The abundance of iron, an indicator of the star's metallicity, is more than double the Sun's. It is radiating a similar luminosity to the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,607 K.
A 2024 multiplicity survey, using astrometry from the Gaia spacecraft, identified a proper motion companion to HD 30177. This co-moving companion is a red dwarf star, around 10% the mass of the Sun, is located at 780" from HD 30177 with a position angle of 188°. The angular distance translates to an observed separation of 43,300 astronomical units.
Planetary system
The Anglo-Australian Planet Search team announced the discovery of HD 30177 b, which has a minimum mass 8 times that of Jupiter, on June 13, 2002. The scientific paper describing the discovery was published in The Astrophysical Journal in 2003. A second massive gas giant planet was later discovered in an approximately 32 year orbit. In 2022, the inclination and estimated mass of both planets were measured via astrometry.
