HD 185351 is a star in the constellation of Cygnus, the swan. With an apparent visual magnitude of 5.17,[1] it is faintly visible to the naked eye on a dark night. Based on parallax measurements, HD 185351 is located at a distance of 134 light years from the Sun.[2] It is drifting closer with a heliocentric radial velocity of −5.4 km/s.[6]

This was the third brightest star in the view field of the Kepler space telescope, with only θ Cyg and CH Cyg being brighter. The resulting data was used to measure asteroseismic oscillations that yielded a mass estimate for HD 185351, after incorporating interferometric and spectroscopic observations.[4] The result is consistent with the value of 1.60 M provided by a refined stellar model.[7] In the past, the star was likely an A-type main-sequence star similar to Procyon. Hence, it is sometimes dubbed a "retired A star".[4]

HD 185351 has a stellar classification of G8.5IIIb Fe−0.5,[5] suggesting this is a late G-type giant star with a mild underabundance of iron compared to similar stars. It has expanded to nearly five times the radius of the Sun and is radiating 14 times the Sun's luminosity.[8] The star has an estimated age of 2.3 billion years[7] and is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 2 km/s.[9]

As of 2011, searches for planetary companions using Doppler spectroscopy were unsuccessful.[4]
