HD 168443 is a star of the spectral class G6 at a distance of approx. 124 light years in the constellation Snake .
The star is accompanied by two substellar objects. The inner companion with the designation HD 168443 b could be an exoplanet , the outer companion with the designation HD 168443 c is a brown dwarf .
Inner companion
HD 168443 b is a substellar object which orbits the central star with a major semi-axis of about 0.3 astronomical units (AU) and an eccentricity of 0.53 in 58.11 days . The minimum mass M · sin (i) is approx. 8 Jupiter masses; thus HD 168443 b could be an exoplanet or a low-mass brown dwarf. The property was acquired by Butler et al. In 1998. discovered.
External companion
HD 168443 c is a brown dwarf with a period of 4.8 years. The major semiaxis of its orbit measures 2.9 AU, the orbital eccentricity is 0.21. The mass of HD 168443 c is estimated to be around 20 to 30 Jupiter masses with an upper limit of just over 40 Jupiter masses.
