HD 86081 is a yellow-hued star in the equatorial constellation of Sextans. It has the proper name Bibhā, the Bengali form of a Sanskrit word meaning a bright beam of light.[7] The star is named after the physicist Bibha Chowdhuri (1913-1991), who studied cosmic rays.[citation needed] This name was suggested in the 2019 NameExoWorlds campaign.[7] With an apparent visual magnitude of 8.73,[2] this star is too dim to be viewed with the naked eye but can be seen with a small telescope. It is located at a distance of approximately 340 light years from the Sun based on parallax, and is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +31 km/s.[2]

Characteristics
editThe stellar classification of this star is G1V,[3] which indicates this is a G-type main-sequence star that, like the Sun, is generating energy through hydrogen fusion at its core. It is bigger and more massive than the Sun at 1.46 and 1.21 solar units respectively. The star is an estimated 3.6[4] billion years old and is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 5 km/s.[5] It is chromospherically inactive, with no emission seen in the core of the Ca II H and K lines.[8] HD 86081 is radiating 2.9[1] times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,973 K.[1]
Planetary system
editMonitoring of this star for radial velocity variations began in November 2005 and the first companion was discovered on April 17, 2006.[8] This hot Jupiter is orbiting just 5,180,000 km from the host star and has an orbital period of 2.1 days, one of the shortest periods ever discovered by this technique.[4] The separation of this exoplant is sufficiently low that it may have sped up the star's rotation through tidal interaction.[9] HD 86081 shows no evidence of planetary transits in spite of a 17.6% transit probability.[8] There is a linear trend in the star's radial velocity measurements that may be an indicator of additional unseen companions.[4]
