HD 178911 is a triple star system with an exoplanetary companion in the northern constellation of Lyra. With a combined apparent visual magnitude of 6.70,[2] it is a challenge to view with the naked eye. The system is located at a distance of approximately 161 light years from the Sun based on parallax measurements, but is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −38 km/s.[1]

Stellar system

A companion star, designated component B, was first reported by F. G. W. Struve in 1823. As of 2019, the two have an angular separation of 16.0 along a position angle of 263°.[3] Component B shares a common motion through space with the primary, and thus they form a wide binary.[13] This secondary is a magnitude 7.88[3] G-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of G5V.[5] The physical properties of this star are similar to the Sun, although it has a higher metallicity.[9][10]

In 1985, the primary was determined to be a spectroscopic binary pair using the CHARA speckle interferometry program.[14] Designated components Aa and Ab, these have an orbital period of 3.55 yr and an eccentricity (ovalness) of 0.6.[4] They are magnitude 6.89 and 8.96.[3] Based on based on a combined class of G5V for the pair,[8] they have derived main sequence stellar classifications of G1V and K1V, respectively.[4] C. D. Farrington and associates (2014) found dynamic masses for the components of 0.80 and 0.62, respectively.[4] However, based on the classes, the expected masses should be around 1.0 and 0.8. Manuel Andrade (2019) derived higher dynamic masses of 1.20 and 0.94.[8]

An additional companion HD 178911 C is a chance optical alignment and is not part of the system.[4]

Planetary system

In 2001 an extrasolar planet was discovered in orbit around HD 178911 B.[15][13]
