HD 136138, or HR 5692, is a

mas·yr−1.[8]

The radial velocity variation of this star was reported by J. R. de Medeiros and M. Mayor in 1999,

semimajor axis is around 2.0 AU, or double the distance from the Earth to the Sun.[8]

The

spectra showing marginal overabundances of s-process elements.[8] A low level of X-ray emission has been detected, which appears to be coming from the star's corona.[6]

The high level of ultraviolet flux coming from this system strongly suggests the companion is a compact white dwarf. Mass estimates put it in the range of 0.6 to 0.8 times the mass of the Sun, and the temperature is around 30,400 K.[7] It is possible that the earlier evolution of this component contaminated its partner with s-process elements, although the resulting interaction should have circularized the orbit to some degree.[5] The dwarf has a visual magnitude of 15.3 and a hydrogen-dominated atmospheric class of DA1.7.[3]
