HD 213240 is a possible

light years from the Sun based on parallax. The primary has an absolute magnitude of 3.77.[2]

This is an ordinary

A

Planetary system

The Geneva extrasolar planet search team discovered a planet orbiting this star in 2001.[11] Since this planet was discovered by radial velocity, only its minimum mass was initially known, and there was a 5% chance of it being massive enough to be a brown dwarf.[10] In 2023, the inclination and true mass of HD 213240 b were determined via astrometry, confirming its planetary nature.[12]
