HD 209458 (center)

HD 209458 is a star with an orbiting exoplanet in the constellation Pegasus. It has an apparent visual magnitude of 7.65[2] and an absolute magnitude of 4.28.[5] Because it is located at a distance of 157 light-years (48 parsecs) from the Sun as measured via parallax, it is not visible to the unaided eye. With good binoculars or a small telescope it should be easily detectable. The system is drifting closer with a heliocentric radial velocity of −14.8 km/s.[1]

The spectrum of HD 209458 presents as a late F- or early G-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of F9 V[3] or G0 V,[4] respectively. It is roughly 3.5[7] billion years old and is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 4.2 km/s.[8] The star displays a moderate amount of magnetic activity in its chromosphere.[10] It has a 15% greater mass than the Sun and a 20% larger radius. The abundance of iron, a measure of the metallicity of the star, is solar.[7] HD 209458 is radiating 1.8 times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 6,071 K.[7]

Because the planet transits the star, the star is dimmed by about 2% every 3.5 days making it an extrinsic variable. The variable star designation for HD 209458 is V376 Pegasi. It is the prototype of the variable class "EP" in the General Catalogue of Variable Stars, defined as stars showing eclipses by their planets.[6][11]
