Tapecue

Tapecue is a star with an orbiting exoplanet in the southern constellation of Carina. It is too faint to be visible with the naked eye, having an apparent visual magnitude of 8.10. The distance to this system is 106 light-years based on parallax measurements, and it is drifting further away with a heliocentric radial velocity of 22 km/s. This is an ordinary G-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of G9V. It has 84% of the radius of the Sun and 85% of the Sun's mass. The star is roughly seven billion years old and is spinning with a rotation period of around 27 days. It is considered to have a moderate level of magnetic activity in its chromosphere. Tapecue has lower iron abundance with approximately 69% of the Sun's iron-to-hydrogen ratio. It is radiating 58% of the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,483 K.
