HD 10307
HD 10307 (HR 483) is a binary star in the constellation Andromeda. The primary is similar to the Sun in mass, temperature and metal content. situated about 41 light-years from Earth Its companion, HR 483 B, is a little-studied red dwarf.
HD 10307 was identified in September 2003 by astrobiologist Margaret Turnbull from the University of Arizona in Tucson as one of the most promising nearby candidates for hosting life based on her analysis of the HabCat list of stars.
System
HR 483 is a binary located 41.2 ly away, in Andromeda. The two stars orbit one another elliptically (e=0.43), approaching as close as 4.2 AU and receding to 10.5 AU, with a period of just under twenty years. Due to the high margins of error on the mass estimates for the two stars, these orbital parameters are approximate.
HD 10307 A, the larger component, is a G-type main-sequence star similar to the Sun, only slightly brighter, hotter, larger, and older than the Sun—though with a slightly smaller mass. It has a low level of activity and is a candidate Maunder minimum analog.[7] HR 483 B, the smaller component, appears to be a red dwarf, with as little as thirty-eight percent the mass of the sun.[3]
The presence of a moderately close companion could disrupt the orbit of a hypothetical planet in HD 10307's habitable zone. However, the uncertainty of the orbital parameters makes it equally uncertain exactly where stable orbits would be in this system.
METI message to HD 10307
There was a METI message sent to HD 10307. It was transmitted from Eurasia's largest radar, 70-meter Eupatoria Planetary Radar. The message was named Cosmic Call 2, it was sent on July 6, 2003, and it will arrive at HD 10307 in September 2044.[8]
