HD 202908, also known as HIP 105200, is a triple star located in the equatorial constellation Equuleus. It has an apparent magnitude of 7.01,[17] making it readily visible in binoculars but not to the naked eye. When resolved, the components have apparent magnitudes of 7.25 and 8.87 respectively.[2] The system is located relatively close at a distance of 169 light years based on Gaia DR3 parallax measurements[9] but it is receding with a heliocentric radial velocity of 6.24 km/s.[8]

Hierarchy of orbits in the HD 202908 system[5]

The system was first observed by astronomer S.W. Burnham.[18]

The "A" component is a double-lined spectroscopic binary that contains two solar-type stars with spectral classifications of F9 V and G0 V respectively.[5] The pair take roughly 4 days to orbit each other.[10]

The tertiary companion designated "B" has a class of G1.5 V, indicating that it is an ordinary G-type main-sequence star like our Sun. HD 202908 A and B both complete an eccentric orbit every 78 years.[10]

Physical characteristics

HD 202908 Aa and Ab have masses 1.08 and 1.14 times that of the Sun[15] and radii 97% and 106% of the Sun respectively.[13] The former radiates 1.41 times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere and the latter radiates 1.16 times the Sun's luminosity.[13] The A subsystem has an effective temperature of 6,100 K,[13] giving it a whitish-yellow hue.

The B component has 97% the mass of the Sun[15] and 91% of its radius. It radiates 84% of the Sun's luminosity[13] from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,703 K.[2] The system is estimated to be 6.4 billion years old.[12]
