HD 11506 is a

light years based on parallax, but it is drifting closer to the Sun with a radial velocity of −7.5 km/s.[1] It has an absolute magnitude of 3.94.[2]

This object is an ordinary

Planetary system

The superjovian planet HD 11506 b was discovered orbiting the star by the N2K Consortium in 2007 using the doppler spectroscopy method.[3] In 2009, a second planet discovery was claimed based on Bayesian analysis of the original data.[8] However, in 2015 additional radial velocity measurements showed that the planetary parameters were significantly different than those determined by Bayesian analysis. An additional linear trend in the radial velocities indicates a stellar or planetary companion on a long term orbit.[5] In 2022, the presence of a third planet with an orbital period of 40 years was confirmed, and the mass and inclination of both planet b and the new planet d were measured via astrometry.[9]
