HD 154345 is a G-type dwarf star located in northern Hercules. It is not visible to the naked eye since this star is below +6.50 magnitude, but using binoculars it is an easy target.

Planetary system

In 2006, a long-period, wide-orbiting planet was observed by radial velocity, and published in May 2007, gaining the designation HD 154345 b.[1] The complete observation of its nine-year orbit rules out any interior planets of minimum mass (m sini) greater than 0.3 Jupiter. The system's habitable zone is centred at .754 AU and is narrower than Sol's.[2] Assuming that the system is oriented edge-on to Earth (inclination ~90, so that the real mass of the planet is about equal to Jupiter's), HD 154345 b does not come close enough to the habitable zone to disrupt the orbits of potential Earth-like planets in the system.
