In 2002, the discovery of the exoplanet HD 128311 b was announced by Paul Butler.[11] In 2005, the discovery of a second exoplanet HD 128311 c was announced by Steve Vogt.[8]

Most likely, the system has been formed in a very turbulent disc.[7] The authors were able to show with both analytic and numerical models that certain libration modes are readily excited by turbulence. It was initially thought that the system could have been resulted from planet–planet scattering, but this is rather unlikely.

In 2014, the true mass of HD 128311 c was measured via astrometry. The same study also proposed a third planetary candidate, but it has not been confirmed.[10]
