HD 166724 is a star in the southern constellation of Corona Australis. It is invisible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of +9.33.[2] The star is located at a distance of 147 light years from the Sun based on parallax, but is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −18 km/s.[1] It is predicted to come as close as 97.0 light-years in around 1.2 million years from now.[2] The star has an absolute magnitude of 6.20.[2]

The stellar classification of HD 166724 is K0IV/V,[3] showing blended features of a K-type main-sequence star with a more evolved subgiant star. It is slightly active with chromospheric activity being demonstrated by an emission peak in the Ca II K absorption line.[5] The age of the star is poorly constrained, but it is spinning slowly with a period of around 30 days.[5] It has 81% of the mass of the Sun and 80%[5] of the Sun's girth. The star is radiating 39%[1] of the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,101 K.[5]

Planetary system[]

From 1998 to 2012, the star was under observance from "the CORALIE echelle spectrograph at La Silla Observatory". In 2012, a long-period, wide-orbiting exoplanet was deduced by radial velocity variations. This was published in November. The discoverers noted that HD 166724 b is among "the three most eccentric planets with a period larger than 5 years" alongside HD 98649 b and HD 219077 b; but unlike them, too dim as a candidate for direct imaging with current technology. The reason for this high orbital eccentricity is unknown.[5]
