HD 73256 is a variable star in the southern constellation of Pyxis. It has the variable star designation CS Pyxidis. With a baseline apparent visual magnitude of 8.08,[2] it requires a small telescope to view. The star is located at a distance of 120 light years from the Sun based on parallax,[1] and is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +30 km/s.[2]
The stellar classification of this star is G8IV-VFe+0.5, which suggests a slightly evolved G-type main-sequence star with a mild overabundance of iron in the spectrum. It is a BY Draconis variable with a period of 13.97 days, showing a variation of 0.03 in magnitude due to chromospheric activity.[4] The star appears overluminous for its class, which may be the result of a high metallicity.[6] The star has roughly the same mass and a slightly smaller radius as the Sun, but is radiating 74% of the Sun's luminosity.[5] It is around 2–3 billion years old and is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 3.2 km/s.[6]
In 2003, S. Udry and colleagues reported the discovery of a planet in orbit around HD 73256 using data from the CORALIE spectrograph. This object is a Hot Jupiter with at least 1.87 times the mass of Jupiter in an orbit with a period of 2.55 days.[6] In 2018, K. Ment and colleagues reported an attempt to confirm the existence of this planet using Keck/HIRES data, but were unable to do so. Thus the existence of this object is disputed.[8]
