HD 169830 is a

light years from the Sun based on parallax. It is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −17.3 km/s,[4] and is predicted to come as close as 20.7 ly (6.4 pc) in 2.08 million years.[10] HD 169830 is known to be orbited by two large Jupiter-like exoplanets
.

This is an

projected rotational velocity of 3.83 km/s.[5] This star is 40% more massive and 84% larger than the Sun. Combining the mass and radius makes the surface gravity only 41% that of the Sun. It is radiating 4.6[6] times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 6,300 K.[6]

A candidate stellar companion, designated component B, lies at an

along a position angle of 265°.[11]

Planetary system

On April 15, 2000, the

Geneva Extrasolar Planet Search Team announced the discovery of a minimum mass 3 MJ planet in a 226-day orbit.[12][6] Three years later on June 30, 2003, the same team, using the same method, discovered a minimum mass 3.5 MJ second planet orbiting the star.[7] In 2022, the inclination and true mass of HD 169830 c were measured via astrometry.[13]
