HD 47186
HD 47186 is a star with a pair of orbiting exoplanets in the southern constellation of Canis Major. The system is located at a distance of 122 light years from the Sun based on parallax measurements, and is drifting further away with a radial velocity of 4.2 km/s. Although it has an absolute magnitude of 4.64, at the distance of this system the apparent visual magnitude is 7.63; too faint to be seen with the naked eye. It has a high proper motion, traversing the celestial sphere at an angular rate of ·yr−1.
The spectrum of HD 47186 matches a G-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of G6V. It is an estimated 5.5 billion years old and is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 2 km/s. The star has 5% greater mass and a 12% larger girth compared to the Sun. The abundance of iron, a measure of the star's metallicity, is 1.7 times more than the Sun, making it metal-rich. HD 47186 is radiating 1.2 times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,736 K.
