HD 114386 is a star with a pair of orbiting exoplanets in the southern constellation of Centaurus. It has an apparent visual magnitude of 8.73, [3] which means it cannot be viewed with the naked eye but can be seen with a telescope or good binoculars. Based on parallax measurements, the system is located at a distance of 91 light-years from the Sun. It is receding with a radial velocity of 33.4 km/s. [4] The star shows a high proper motion, traversing the celestial sphere at an angular rate of 0.318 arcsec yr−1. [8]
The spectrum of HD 114386 yields a stellar classification of K3 V, [3] matching a K-type main-sequence star, or orange dwarf. It has 76% of the mass of the Sun and 73% of the Sun's radius. HD 114386 is a much older star than the Sun with an estimated age of roughly nine billion years. [5] The abundance of iron in the stellar atmosphere, a measure of the star's metallicity, is nearly solar. [6] It is rather dim compared to the Sun, radiating just 28% of the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,926 K. [5]
In 2004, the Geneva Extrasolar Planet Search Team announced the discovery of an exoplanet orbiting the star by the radial velocity method. [3] The preliminary data for a second, inner, exoplanet was released in 2011; [9] it was confirmed in 2026. [10] The inclination and true mass of the outer planet have been determined by astrometry.
