HD 3346, also known as V428 Andromedae, is an orange giant star approximately 620 light-years away[1] in the constellation of Andromeda.
Possible planetary system
In 1996 it was announced that the variations in radial velocity of this star were larger than expected. A planetary system was proposed to explain this variation.[3][4]
