HD 196885 is a binary star system in the northern constellation of Delphinus. It comprises a pair of stars, HD 196885 A and HD 196885 B, on a 69-year eccentric orbit. The primary star has one known planet.[5]
Stellar properties

The primary star is near the lower limit of visibility to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 6.39.[1] It is located at a distance of 110.9 light-years from the Sun.[2] It is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −30 km/s, and is expected to come to within 52.5 light-years in 836,000 years.[1]
The secondary, component B, is a red dwarf star separated by 0.6 arcseconds from the primary star that was discovered in 2006 with NaCo at VLT.[9][4] It has a class in the range M1V to M3V[4] with 51% of the Sun's mass.[5]
The star BD+10 4351B, located 192 arcseconds away from HD 196885, was once thought to be a possible third component of the system,[10] but Gaia astrometry shows a smaller parallax, indicating that it is an unrelated background star.[11]
Planetary system
In 2004, an exoplanet, HD 196885 Ab, was announced to be orbiting the star HD 196885 A in a 386-day orbit.[12] Follow-up work published in 2008 did not confirm the original candidate but instead found evidence of a planet in a 3.63 years orbit.[7] Perturbation by the secondary star in this system may have driven the planet into a high inclination orbit.[13] The planetary existence was confirmed and parameters were refined by 2022.[5]
