HD 99706 is an orange-hued star in the northern circumpolar constellation of Ursa Major. With an apparent visual magnitude of 7.65,[2] it is too dim to be visible to the naked eye but can be viewed with a pair of binoculars.[9] Parallax measurements provide a distance estimate of approximately 480 light years from the Sun, and the Doppler shift shows it is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −30 km/s.[1] It has an absolute magnitude of 2.12,[5] indicating it would be visible to the naked eye as a 2nd magnitude star if it were located 10 parsecs away.

This is an aging subgiant[2] star belonging to spectral class K0,[3] having exhausted the supply of hydrogen at its core and begun to evolve into a giant. Its age is younger than the Sun's at 2.8±0.2 billion years and it is spinning slowly with a projected rotational velocity of 2 km/s.[7] The star has 1.5 times the mass of the Sun and has expanded to 5.5 times the Sun's radius. It is slightly enriched in heavy elements, having 110% of solar abundance.[7] HD 99706 is radiating 13[6] times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,862 K.[2]

An imaging survey at Calar Alto Observatory in 2016 failed to detect any stellar companions to HD 99706.[10]

Planetary system

In 2011 one superjovian exoplanet, HD 99706 b, on a mildly eccentric orbit around star HD 99706 was discovered utilizing the radial velocity method.[4] Another superjovian exoplanet on an outer orbit was detected in 2016.[11]
