HD 43691 is a star with an orbiting exoplanet in the constellation Auriga. With an apparent visual magnitude of 8.03,[1] it is too faint to be visible to the naked eye. This system is located at a distance of 279 light years based on parallax measurements, but is drifting closer with a heliocentric radial velocity of −29 km/s.[1]

This is a slightly evolved G-type subgiant star with a stellar classification of G0 IV.[3] It is ceasing thermonuclear fusion of hydrogen in its core and will expand to become a red giant. The star has 32% greater mass than the Sun and has a 70% larger girth.[4] It is radiating 2.2 times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,920 K.[5] The level of chromospheric activity is minimal, allowing for accurate measurement of radial velocity variation.[3]

Planetary system

In July 2007, the star is found to have a super-jovian exoplanet in orbit around it.[3] It has minimum mass two and a half times that of Jupiter and orbits the star closer than Mercury to the Sun.
