HD 45364 is a star approximately 107 light years away from Earth in the constellation of Canis Major. As of August 2008 there are two confirmed extrasolar planets orbiting around it.[2]

Planetary system

HD 45364 is one of only a relative few systems that have had more than one exoplanet discovered in its orbit. The two planets, HD 45364 b and HD 45364 c respectively, were both discovered in August 2008.

Formation scenario

Hydrodynamic formation scenario of HD45364
Hydrodynamic formation scenario of HD45364

A detailed analysis of the formation scenario revealed that the previously reported orbital configuration might not be correct.[3] The eccentricities are a factor of 4-5 too large to be consistent with standard planet formation theories. This is the first time that planet formation theory was able to predict new orbital parameters of a planetary system.
