HD 75898 is an 8th magnitude star approximately 255 light-years away in the constellation Lynx. The star is 28% more massive, 60% larger, and 3 times as luminous as the Sun. It is a metal-rich star, with 186% the solar abundance of iron. In 2007 the California and Carnegie Planet Search team found one planet orbiting HD 75898. [2]
In 2019 the HD 75898 system was chosen as part of the NameExoWorlds campaign organised by the International Astronomical Union, which assigned each country a star and planet to be named. HD 75898 was assigned to Croatia. The winning proposal named the star Stribor, after the god of winds in Slavic mythology, and the planet b Veles, after a deity of earth, water and the underworld in Slavic mythology. [6]
The planet HD 75898 b was discovered by the radial velocity method in 2007. [2] At the time the centre of mass of the system appeared to be accelerating, indicating the presence of a third, more distant, component at least the mass of Jupiter. Later additional monitoring however indicated that this long-period signal was likely a result of long-term magnetic activity on the parent star. [4]
However in 2024, an additional long-period planet, HD 75898 c, was confirmed using both astrometry and radial velocity, in addition to an intermediate-period activity cycle. Both planets are super-Jupiters, with planet c having a mass 8.5 times that of Jupiter, and planet b having a minimum mass 2.5 times that of Jupiter, with a likely true mass of about 6 Jupiters if coplanar orbits are assumed.

HD 169830 is a star in the southern constellation of Sagittarius. It has a yellow-white hue and is dimly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of +5.90. The star is located at a distance of 120 light years from the Sun based on parallax. It is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −17.3 km/s, and is predicted to come as close as 20.7 ly (6.4 pc) in 2.08 million years. HD 169830 is known to be orbited by two large Jupiter-like exoplanets.
HD 150706 is a star with an orbiting exoplanet in the northern constellation of Ursa Minor. It is located 92 light years away from the Sun, based on parallax measurements. At that distance, it is not visible to the unaided eye. However, with an apparent visual magnitude of 7.02, it is an easy target for binoculars. It is located only about 10° from the northern celestial pole so it is always visible in the northern hemisphere except for near the equator. Likewise, it is never visible in most of the southern hemisphere. The star is drifting closer to the Sun with a radial velocity of −17.2 km/s.
HD 1237 is a binary star system approximately 57 light-years away in the constellation of Hydrus.
HD 80606 and HD 80607 are two stars comprising a binary star system. They are approximately 217 light-years away in the constellation of Ursa Major. Both stars orbit each other at an average distance of 1,200 astronomical units. The binary system is listed as Struve 1341 in the Struve Catalogue of Double Stars; however, this designation is not in wide use and the system is usually referred to by the HD designations of its constituent stars. An extrasolar planet has been confirmed to orbit HD 80606 in a highly elliptical orbit.
HD 59686 is a binary star system in the northern constellation of Gemini. It is visible to the naked eye as a dim point of light with an apparent visual magnitude of +5.45.

This system is located at a distance of 279 light years based on parallax measurements, but is drifting closer with a heliocentric radial velocity of −29 km/s.
HD 171028 is a star with an exoplanet companion in the equatorial constellation of Ophiuchus. With an apparent visual magnitude of 8.3, it is too faint to be readily visible with the naked eye. Unlike most planet-harboring stars, it does not have a Hipparcos number. The star is located at a distance of approximately 365 light years from the Sun based on parallax, and is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +13.5 km/s.
HD 89307 is a star in the equatorial constellation of Leo. It is too faint to be viewed with the naked eye except under ideal conditions, having an apparent visual magnitude of 7.02.

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. The distance to this star, as estimated by parallax measurements, is 137 light years. It is receding away from the Sun with a radial velocity of +5 km/s.
HD 117207 is a star in the southern constellation Centaurus. With an apparent visual magnitude of 7.24, it is too dim to be visible to the naked eye but can be seen with a small telescope. Based upon parallax measurements, it is located at a distance of 105.4 light-years from the Sun. The star is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −17.4 km/s.
