HD 191806 is a star located in the northern constellation Cygnus. With an apparent magnitude of 8.093, it's undetectable with the naked eye, but can be seen with binoculars. HD 191806 is currently placed at a distance of 215 light years based on parallax measurements and is drifting towards the Solar System with a spectroscopic radial velocity of −15.28 km/s .
HD 191806 has a stellar classification of G0V, [3] indicating that it is a G-type main sequence star. It has 110% the mass of the Sun [5] and a slightly enlarged radius of 1.48 R☉ . [6] It radiates at 2.23 times the luminosity of the Sun [7] from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,894 K , [5] giving a yellow hue. HD 191806 is estimated to be about 3 billion years old and has a metallicity nearly twice of the Sun's. [7] It spins with a projected rotational velocity of 3.3 km/s , which corresponds to a rotational period of 21 days. [7]
Observations for exoplanets orbiting the star began in 2007 when it was selected by the N2K Consortium as a potential host due to its high metallicity. [9] After ten years of, a team of astronomers found a super Jupiter orbiting the star. [7] The star has a secular acceleration of >11 km/s , suggesting either the presence of a stellar companion or another planet. [7] In 2022, the inclination and true mass of HD 191806 b were measured via astrometry. [10]

HD 66428 is a G-type main sequence star located approximately 174 light-years away in the constellation of Monoceros. This star is similar to the Sun with an apparent magnitude of 8.25, an effective temperature of 5705 ± 27 K and a solar luminosity 1.28. Its absolute magnitude is 11.1 while its U-V color index is 0.71. It is considered an inactive star and it is metal-rich . This star has a precise mass of 1.14552 solar masses. This precision comes from the Corot mission that measured asteroseismology.
HD 136118 is a star in the Serpens Caput section of the Serpens constellation. The star is too dim to be readily visible to the naked eye, having an apparent visual magnitude of 6.93. It is located at a distance of 165 light years from the Sun based on parallax, and is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −3 km/s.
