HD 142 is a 6th magnitude yellow-white dwarf star approximately 84 light years away[2] in the constellation of Phoenix. A companion star was detected in 1894 making this a binary star system.[8] The binary companion was confirmed in 2007 and determined to be of spectral type K8.5-M1.5 with a mass 59% that of the sun.[9]

Planetary system

In 2001, the Anglo-Australian Planet Search team led by Chris Tinney announced the discovery of an extrasolar planet orbiting the star.[10][11] An additional linear trend in the radial velocity data was noticed in 2006[12] that could have been due to another planet or to the stellar companion.[13] In 2012, additional measurements allowed the detection of a second planet. A third possible planet with a period of 108 days was seen in the data however the false alarm probability was five percent.[14]
