Characteristics


With an apparent visual magnitude of 3.96,[2] it is bright enough to be seen with the naked eye to the southwest of Sirius. It has an annual parallax shift of around 50.63 mas as seen from Earth,[1] thus this system is about 64.4 light years from the Sun, a parallax well within the error margins of the figure later given by the Gaia space observatory data release 2, namely 50.471 ± 0.4168.[6]

It is an evolved K-type giant around 4.6 billion years old. Around 1.3 times as massive as the Sun, it has expanded to around 4.9 times the Sun's diameter and 11 times its luminosity.[4] In 2011, it was found to have a planet.[7]


Chinese name


In Chinese astronomy, ν2 Canis Majoris is called 野雞, Pinyin: Yějī, meaning Wild Cockerel, because this star is marking itself and stand alone in Wild Cockerel asterism, Well mansion (see : Chinese constellation).[8] 野雞 (Yějī), westernized into Ya Ke. According to R.H. Allen opinion, the name Ya Ke is asterism consisting ο1 Canis Majoris and π Canis Majoris, with other small stars in the body of the Dog[9]


Planetary system


By measuring periodic variations in the radial velocity of the host star between 2009 and 2010, the Pan-Pacific Planet Search program was able to identify a planet orbiting Nu2 Canis Majoris. An orbital fit produced a minimum mass estimate of 2.6±0.6 MJwith an orbital period of 2.1 years and an eccentricity of 0.23. Star spots were ruled out as a source for the signal with a false-alarm probability of 98.7%.[7] Further observations through 2019 detected the planet, as well as a secondary planet c in a 4:3 orbital resonance with planet b.[10]

Ni2 Canis Majoris o Nu2 Canis Majoris (ν2 CMa / 7 Canis Majoris / 7 CMa)[1] es una estrella en la constelación del Can Mayor de magnitud aparente +4,53. Sin nombre propio habitual, en astronomía china es conocida como 雞 (Yějī), cuyo significado es el «Gallo Salvaje», ya que marca el asterismo del mismo nombre.[2] Comparte la denominación de Bayer «Ni» con ν1 Canis Majoris y ν3 Canis Majoris, si bien no existe relación física entre ellas; mientras que Ni2 Canis Majoris se encuentra a 65 años luz del sistema solar, las otras dos estrellas están considerablemente más alejadas.
