HD 103197 is a star with a planetary companion in the southern constellation of Centaurus. It has an apparent visual magnitude of 9.40,[2] which is too faint to be viewed with the naked eye. Based on parallax measurements, HD 103197 is located at a distance of 187 light years from the Sun. It is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −4.6 km/s.[1]

This is a K-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of K1V(p). In 1978, N. Houk noted that the cores of the star's H and K lines are weakly in emission; hence the 'p' code indicating a spectral peculiarity.[3] The star is an estimated five billion years old with a projected rotational velocity of approximately 0.6 km/s[5] and it appears to be very inactive. It has 90% of the mass and 95% of the radius of the Sun. Its metal content is five-eighths greater than in the Sun.[4]

In 2009, a gas giant exoplanet companion was discovered using the radial velocity method. This object is orbiting the host star at a distance of 0.249 astronomical unit|AU (37.2 Gm) and a period of 47.84 d, with what is assumed to be a circular orbit.[4]
