HD 10647 (q1 Eridani) is a 6th-magnitude yellow-white dwarf star, 57 light-years away in the constellation of Eridanus. The star is visible to the unaided eye under very dark skies. It is slightly hotter and more luminous than the Sun, and at 1,750 million years old, it is also younger. An extrasolar planet was discovered orbiting this star in 2003.

Planetary system

In 2003, Michel Mayor's team announced the discovery of a new planet, HD 10647 b, in Paris at the XIX IAP Colloquium Extrasolar Planets: Today & Tormorrow* . The Anglo-Australian Planet Search team initially did not detect the planet in 2004,[4] though a solution was made by 2006.[5] The CORALIE data was finally published in 2013.[3]

The IRAS infrared space telescope detected an excess of infrared radiation from the star, indicating a possible circumstellar disk.[6] Using this data and later observations with the Spitzer Space Telescope, Infrared Space Observatory and the Atacama Pathfinder Experiment implies that the disk is located at 25 Astronomical units and has a thin (0.02 AU), ring-like structure, with the sharp cutoff in the disk suggesting a planet.[7] Additionally, a much longer wavelength suggests the existence of a much wider belt of material, analogous to the Kuiper belt. The hierarchy of this system is somewhat reminiscent of that of Epsilon Eridani, without an inner asteroid belt.
