HD 38529 A

'HD 38529 A' is a yellow subgiant star, which has also been classified as a main sequence dwarf of spectral type G4V. It is about 40% more massive than our Sun. Two substellar companions are known in orbit around this star, including one brown dwarf.

HD 38529 Ab

'HD 38529 Ab' is an extrasolar planet discovered in 2000. Because of its mass, it is likely that it is a gas giant.

HD 38529 Ac

'HD 38529 Ac' is a brown dwarf companion to HD 38529 A. Radial velocity measurements give a minimum mass of 12.7 times that of Jupiter, close to the brown dwarf limit at 13 Jupiter masses. Astrometric measurements from the Hipparcos mission give a best fit inclination of 160° and a mass 37 times that of Jupiter.

HD 38529 B

'HD 38529 B' is a common proper motion stellar companion to HD 38529 A at a projected distance of about 12042 AU. The star is a red dwarf of spectral type M3.0V.
