HD 27894 is a 9th magnitude star located approximately 143 light years away in the constellation of Reticulum. It is an orange dwarf (spectral type K2V), a type dimmer and cooler than the Sun.
In 2005, the Geneva Extrasolar Planet Search Team announced the discovery of an extrasolar planet orbiting the star. [6] In 2017, the discovery of two additional exoplanets was announced. One is very close to the star like the one discovered earlier, while the other one orbits the star at a much larger distance. It is the first system where such a large gap between orbital distances has been found. [7] [8] In 2022, the inclination and true mass of HD 27894 d were measured via astrometry. The study only found strong evidence for planets b and d. [9]

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 47536 is a single star in the southern constellation of Canis Major. It has an orange hue and is dimly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of +5.25. The star is located at a distance of approximately 408 light years from the Sun based on parallax. It is drifting further away with a radial velocity of 80 km/s.
HD 23596 is a 7th magnitude star approximately 170 light years away in the constellation Perseus. The visual luminosity of the star is 2.63 times greater than the Sun. HD 23596 dwarfs the Sun is terms of physical properties; including mass, radius, age, metallicity, and temperature. The spectrum of the star is F8.
HD 30177 is an 8th magnitude star located approximately 182 light-years away in the constellation Dorado. The star is a yellow dwarf, a type of yellow star that fuses hydrogen in its core. Since if this star is a late G-type, it is cooler and less massive than the Sun, but larger in radius. It is 1.8 times older than the Sun. This star system contains two known extrasolar planets.
HD 4113 is a dual star system in the southern constellation of Sculptor. It is too faint to be viewed with the naked eye, having an apparent visual magnitude of 7.88.
