SIMBAD data

HD 38529 (138 G. Orionis) is a binary star approximately 128 light-years away in the constellation of Orion.

HD 38529 A

HD 38529 A is a yellow subgiant star, which has also been classified as a main sequence dwarf of spectral type G4V. It is about 40% more massive than our Sun. Two substellar companions are known in orbit around this star, including one with a mass above the deuterium fusion limit that is often used as the dividing line between giant planets and brown dwarfs. There is a debris disk located at least 86 astronomical units from the star.[3]

Planetary system

In 2002, the planet HD 38529 b was discovered orbiting the star HD 38529 A by Debra Fischer who used Doppler spectroscopy.[4] It has mass 78% that of Jupiter and orbits very close to the star, just beyond the distance limit for hot Jupiters. One year later, a massive superjovian HD 38529 c was found orbiting at 3.68 AU with a minimum mass of 12.7 Jupiter masses.[5] Astrometric measurements from the Hipparcos satellite gave a best fit inclination of 160° and a true mass 37 times that of Jupiter, turning this planet into a brown dwarf.[6] Further study of the system using Hubble Space Telescope astrometry revised the mass of HD 38529 c downwards to 17.7 Jupiter masses and suggested the presence of an additional planet, orbiting in the gap between HD 38529 b and c.[2] The possible third planet was refuted after additional radial velocity measurements were collected.[7]

HD 38529 B

HD 38529 B is a common proper motion stellar companion to HD 38529 A at a projected distance of about 12042 AU. The star is a red dwarf of spectral type M3.0V.[8]
