  1. ↑ Calculated from apparent brightness and distance.

HD 202206 is a main sequence star of the spectral class G6 in the constellation Capricorn . It is orbited by two substellar companions.

According to measurements by the Hipparcos satellite , the star's parallax is 22  milli-arcseconds , which corresponds to a distance of 45 parsecs . The apparent visual brightness of HD 202206 is 8.1 mag. The star is around 5.4 billion years old, its mass is around 13 percent higher than that of the Sun , and its radius is almost exactly the same. It has a significantly higher metallicity than the sun.

Substellar companions

After measurements of the radial velocity, a substellar object with at least 17 times the mass of Jupiter was discovered in an orbit around the central star. The object with the designation HD 202206 b / HD 202206 B is probably a brown dwarf . HD 202206 B orbits the main sequence star in a very eccentric orbit at a mean distance of 0.8 astronomical units in 256 days .

After further measurements, the data of another companion were published in 2004. The second companion, HD 202206 c , has at least 2.4 times the mass of Jupiter and orbits HD 202206 in 1400 days on an also very eccentric orbit at a mean distance of 2.5 astronomical units. The two companions are in a 5: 1 track resonance .
