HD 158259 is a main sequence star located 88 light-years (27 parsecs) away in the constellation Draco. It hosts a system of at least five planets, discovered by the SOPHIE échelle spectrograph using the radial velocity method.[2]
Characteristics
[edit]HD 158259 is a G0 star with a rotation period of 18±5 days. More detailed analysis of the spectral assigns a class of G5V, but with the metal lines of an F9 star.[3]
Planets
[edit]Five planets have been confirmed orbiting HD 158259, along with one unconfirmed planet. These planets were discovered by N.C. Hara et.al. by the radial velocity method, published in Astronomy & Astrophysics in April 2020.[8] The innermost planet, HD 158259 b, was also observed to transit the star by TESS.[2] The planets orbit in a nearly 3:2 orbital resonance, with the period ratios 1.5758, 1.5146, 1.5296, 1.5130, and 1.4480, respectively, starting from the innermost pairing.[9] A dynamical analysis has shown that the system is stable.[2] One of the planets, HD 158259 b, is a super-Earth; the rest, including the unconfirmed HD 158259 g, are mini-Neptunes.[8]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
