In 2000, it was announced that a giant planet was orbiting the star with a minimum mass of 5 Jupiter masses, designated HD 190228 b.[4] The planetary nature of the object was questioned because of the low metal content of the star: giant planets are more likely to be found around high-metallicity stars, so it was argued that the object was more likely to be a brown dwarf.[5] Later astrometric measurements confirmed this: HD 190228 b is in fact a brown dwarf of 49.4 Jupiter masses in a nearly face-on orbit. The brown dwarf takes 1146 days to orbit the star, and the orbit is elliptical with an eccentricity of 0.5.[2]
