HD 44219 is a solar-type star[9] with an exoplanetary companion in the equatorial constellation of Monoceros. It has an apparent visual magnitude of 7.69,[2] making it an 8th magnitude star that is too faint to be readily visible to the naked eye. The system is located at a distance of 173 light-years from the Sun based on parallax measurements, but is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −12 km/s.[1]
This is an ordinary G-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of G3V.[3] L. Casagrande and associates in 2011 estimated the age of the star as 5.4 billion years,[7] while A. Bonfanti and colleagues listed a much greater age of nearly 10 billion years in 2015.[4] It has a near solar metallicity and is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 1.5 km/s.[5] The star has about the same mass as the Sun but is 37% larger in radius. It is radiating 1.83 times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,749 K.[4]
In 2009, a Jovian planet was found in a highly eccentric orbit around the star by the HARPS planet search program. There is some evidence of an additional, longer-period companion.[9]
