HD 68402 has a classification of G5 IV/V,[3] which indicates that it is a G5 star with the characteristics of a subgiant and main-sequence star. Contrary to its classification, it is actually a G1 dwarf.[5] At present it is slightly more massive than the Sun and has a similar radius to the latter.[5] It radiates at 1.17[5] times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,907 K,[6] which gives it a yellow hue. At an age of 1 billion years HD 68402[6] has a projected rotational velocity of almost 3 km/s and is metal rich like most planetary hosts (1.94 times to be exact).[5]


Planetary System


In 2017, a superjovian planet was discovered using doppler spectroscopy data from HARPS and CORALIE.[5]
