HD 63513 is a star located in the constellation Camelopardalis. It is a G-type main-sequence star, meaning it is similar to our Sun in terms of size, temperature, and luminosity. HD 63513 is located approximately 82 light-years from Earth.
The star is slightly more massive and hotter than the Sun. Its age is estimated to be around 4 billion years. HD 63513 has a relatively high metallicity compared to the Sun, meaning it contains a higher proportion of elements heavier than hydrogen and helium.
HD 63513 is notable for hosting at least one confirmed exoplanet, designated HD 63513 b. This exoplanet is a hot Jupiter, a type of gas giant planet that orbits very close to its host star. HD 63513 b was discovered through the radial velocity method, which detects the wobble of a star caused by the gravitational pull of an orbiting planet.
Further observations and research are ongoing to better characterize HD 63513 and its planetary system.
