HD 192699


HD 192699 is a star located approximately 238 light-years away in the constellation of Aquila. It has the apparent magnitude of 6.45. Based on its mass of 1.68 solar, it was an A-type star when it was a main-sequence. In April 2007, a planet was announced orbiting the star, together with HD 175541 b and HD 210702 b.
Although the published spectral class of G8 IV suggests that HD 192699 is a subgiant, models of the star suggest it has reached the base of the red giant branch, having developed a degenerate helium core.
The star HD 192699 is named Chechia. The name was selected in the NameExoWorlds campaign by Tunisia, during the 100th anniversary of the IAU. Chechia is a flat-surfaced, traditional red wool hat.
