HD 185269 is a stellar triple system [7] approximately 170 light-years away in the constellation Cygnus. It is easily visible to binoculars, but not the naked eye.
The primary star is a third more massive [3] and nearly five times as luminous than the Sun. [2] The spectrum of the star is G0IV. [3] About 4.5 arcseconds away are the two other stars, which are much less massive than the Sun. The primary has a mass of 0.165 M☉, while the secondary has a mass of 0.154 M☉. [7]
The Jupiter-mass hot Jupiter was independently discovered orbiting the primary star by two different teams using doppler spectroscopy. One group led by Claire Moutou used the ELODIE spectrograph at the Haute-Provence Observatory in France while John Asher Johnson and collaborators used the Coudé Auxiliary and C. Donald Shane telescopes at Lick Observatory in California. [3] [4] The planet takes 6.8 days to orbit at 0.077 AU from the primary star in an eccentric orbit.
