HD 196885
HD 196885 is a binary star system in the northern constellation of Delphinus. It is near the lower limit of visibility to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 6.39.[2] According to its parallax of 29.24 mas, it is located at a distance of 112 light years from the Sun. It is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −30 km/s, and is expected to come to within 52.5 light-years in 836,000 years.[2] The absolute magnitude of the system is 3.76.[2]

The primary, component A, is an F-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of F8V[3] It is about two billion years old and is spinning with a projected rotational velocity, for a rotation period of around 15 days. The star has 1.33[6] times the mass of the Sun and 1.45 times the Sun's radius.[1] The metallicity of this star – what astronomers term the abundance of elements with higher atomic number than helium – is nearly double that in the Sun. It is radiating 2.7 times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 6,340 K.[6]
In 2004, a planet was announced to be orbiting the star in a 386-day orbit.[8] Follow-up work published in 2008 did not confirm the original candidate but instead found evidence of a planet in a 3.63 years.[6] This object has a minimum estimated mass at least three times that of the planet Jupiter.[5] Perturbation by the secondary star in this system may have driven the planet into a high inclination orbit.[9]
The secondary, component B, is a red dwarf star separated by 0.7 arcseconds from the primary star.[10] At a distance of 112 light years, this corresponds to a separation of 24 AU between the stars.[4] Since the separation along the line-of-sight is unknown, this represents a lower limit on the true separation. The orbital elements of the pair give an orbital period of 72 years, a semimajor axis of 21 AU, and an eccentricity of 0.42.[5] It has a class in the range M1V to M3V[4] with 45% of the Sun's mass.[5]
The star BD+10 4351B, located 192 arcseconds away from HD 196885 is located at the same distance and may be a physically bound companion star, in which case HD 196885 is a triple system.[10] If it is bound, then the separation is at least 6,600 AU (the separation along the line-of-sight is unknown, so this value represents a lower limit on the true separation).
