HD 145457

HD 145457 is a star located in the northern constellation of Corona Borealis (The Northern Crown) at a distance of around 443 light-years from the Sun,[1] as determined through parallax measurements. It has been formally named Kamuy by the IAU,[6] after a spiritual or divine being in Ainu mythology. With an apparent magnitude of 6.57,[7] it is barely visible to the unaided eye on dark nights clear of light pollution. It is drifting closer to the Sun with a radial velocity of −3.2 km/s.[1]

This object is an aging giant star with a stellar classification of K0 III[4] that has cooled and expanded off the main sequence after exhausting its core hydrogen supply. It is thought to be a red clump star, fusing helium in its core.[8] With an age of 9.3[3] billion years old, it is around 1.57[3] times as massive as the Sun and has swollen to around 10 times its diameter. It is radiating 50 times the luminosity of the Sun from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,738 K.[1]

Companion

HD 145457 has a companion called HD 145457 b discovered in 2010. 2.9 times as massive as Jupiter, it orbits about every 176 days with an orbital eccentricity of 0.112 (± 3.1). Its semimajor axis is 0.76 AU. HD 145457 b was discovered by precise Doppler measurements with the Subaru Telescope.[7]

As part of the IAU NameExoWorlds project in 2019, HD 145457 b has been formally named Chura. The name was selected by Japan. Chura is a word in the Ryukyuan/Okinawan language meaning natural beauty.[6]
