HD 75898 is an 8th magnitude star approximately 263 light years away in the constellation Lynx. It is a yellow subgiant, although it is only 3.8 billion years old. The star is 28% more massive, 60% larger, and 3 times as luminous than our local star. It is a metal-rich star, meaning it has 186% the solar abundance of iron.

Planetary system

On January 11, 2007, the California and Carnegie Planet Search team found one planet orbiting HD 75898.[1] It wasn’t published until May 27, 2007. The centre of mass of the system is accelerating, indicating there is a third, more distant, component at least the size of Jupiter. If it has 1 to 13 times the mass of Jupiter it is 30-65 au distant with an orbital period of 4.5 to 460 years. If it is a brown dwarf, it has 13 to 83 times the mass of Jupiter and would be 75-170 au distant with an orbital period of 418 to 1900 years.
