HD 36384 is a star with an orbiting exoplanet companion in the northern constellation Camelopardalis. It is dimly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 6.19.[3] The distance to this system is approximately 693 light-years based on parallax measurements, but is drifting closer with a heliocentric radial velocity of −5 km/s.[4]
This is an evolved red giant star with a stellar classification of M0 III.[3] It is a suspected variable star with a pulsation period of around 586 days. The star has 1.1 times the mass of the Sun and has expanded to 38.4 times the Sun's radius. It is radiating 388 times the luminosity of the Sun from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 3,940 K.[3]
In 2017, radial velocity variations were detected in this star, which were considered to most likely be caused by stellar pulsations.[3] A follow-up study by the same team in 2023 instead interpreted the radial velocity variations as being caused by a planetary companion, in addition to stellar activity. This is a super-jovian exoplanet with at least 6.6 times the mass of Jupiter; the exact mass is unknown since the orbital inclination has not been determined.[5] It was among the six exoplanet discoveries that marked the 5,500 discovery milestone.[7]
