30 Arietis (abbreviated 30 Ari) is a 6th-apparent-magnitude multiple star system[5] in the constellation of Aries. 30 Arietis is the Flamsteed designation. 30 Arietis A and B are separated by 38.1″, or about 1,700 AU at a distance of 145 light-years away. The main components of both systems are both binaries with composite spectra belonging to F-type main-sequence stars, meaning they are fusing hydrogen in their cores. 30 Arietis B also has a second stellar companion, making a total of five stars. The 30 Arietis system is 910 million years old, one fifth the age of the Sun.
Star system
[edit]
30 Arietis A and B are separated by 38.1", corresponding to 1,700 AU at a distance of 145 light-years. The pair are at almost the same distance, have very similar proper motions, and are considered almost certain to be gravitationally bound with a likely period around 34,000 years.[6] The main components of both systems are both binaries with composite spectra belonging to F-type main-sequence stars, meaning they are fusing hydrogen in their cores.[4]
30 Arietis A is a spectroscopic binary with an orbital period of 1.1 days.[8] The primary Aa is an F-type main sequence star about 31% more massive than the Sun, while the companion Ab is a faint red dwarf only about 15% the mass of the Sun.
30 Arietis B has been reported to have a red dwarf companion C at a distance of 22 AU,[6] and another companion Bb at about 1 AU.[4] 30 Arietis Bb has a minimum mass consistent with a giant planet, but in 2020, after the orbital inclination was measured, the "planet" was found to fall in the mass range of a red dwarf star.[9] The more distant companion is referred to as C to distinguish it from Bb, and at about 0.5" it has been imaged using adaptive optics.[6]
30 Arietis Bb
[edit]30 Arietis Bb (sometimes abbreviated 30 Ari Bb) is a red dwarf which orbits the F-type main sequence star 30 Arietis Ba. The red dwarf, initially believed to be a massive planet or brown dwarf, was announced in a paper published online on September 24, 2009. It was discovered by using precision radial velocity measurements from the echelle spectrograph installed on the Alfred-Jensch Telescope in Karl Schwarzschild Observatory.[4] The object has a minimum mass of nearly 10 times that of Jupiter.[10] In 2020, after the inclination of the planetary orbit was measured to be just 4.14+0.96
−0.90°, the "planet" was found to fall in the mass range of red dwarf stars.[9]
