HD 191806 is a star located in the northern constellationCygnus. 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 spectroscopicradial velocity of −15.28 km/s.
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]
