HIP 5158 is a

·yr−1.[7]

The

rotation period of around 42.3 days. Based on the abundance of iron, this star appears metal rich, having concentration of heavy elements equal to 125% of solar abundance.[3] It has 75% of the mass of the Sun and 60% of the Sun's radius. The star is radiating just 19% of the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,571 K.[5]

Planetary system

In 2009, a gas giant planet HIP 5158 b was found in orbit around the star. The quadratic drift in the radial velocities did indicate the presence of an additional outer planet in the system,[3] which was confirmed in 2011. The large uncertainty in the mass of HIP 5158 c leaves in question whether this is an exoplanet or a brown dwarf.[8]
