HD 13189 is an 8th magnitude star in Triangulum constellation. In 2005, a planetary companion or brown dwarf was announced in orbit around this star. At the time, the parallax estimate was , which would suggest a distance of with a high margin of error. In 2007, van Leeuwen published a revised parallax measurement of , which corresponds to a distance of with a smaller but still significant margin of error. In 2022 the Gaia spacecraft measured a parallax of which is a distance of with an error of only . It has a spectral classification of K1II-III, making it a giant star that has evolved away from the main sequence. The mass is 1.2 times the Sun's, while measurements of the star's radius give estimates of . The atmosphere of the star displays short period radial velocity variations with a primary period of 4.89 days. This behavior is typical for giant K-type stars such as this and it is not the result of a close-orbit planetary companion. HD 13189 b HD 13189 b is an exoplanet or brown dwarf with mass ranges from 8 to 20 Jupiter mass. This object is located at a mean distance of 277 Gm (1.85 AU) from the star, taking 472 days to make one elliptical orbit. This object was discovered in Tautenburg, Germany in 2005.
