HD 114386 is a star with a pair of orbiting exoplanets in the southern constellation of Centaurus. It has an apparent visual magnitude of 8.73,<ref name="Mayor2004"/> which means it cannot be viewed with the naked eye but can be seen with a telescope or good binoculars. Based on parallax measurements, the system is located at a distance of 91 light years from the Sun. It is receding with a radial velocity of 33.4 km/s.<ref name=GaiaRV/> The star shows a high proper motion, traversing the celestial sphere at an angular rate of Template:Val.<ref name=Luyten1995/>

The spectrum of HD 114386 yields a stellar classification of K3 V,<ref name="Mayor2004"/> matching a K-type main-sequence star, or orange dwarf. It has 76% of the mass of the Sun and 73% of the Sun's radius. HD 114386 is a much older star than the Sun with an estimated age of roughly nine billion years.<ref name=Bonfanti_et_al_2016/> The abundance of iron in the stellar atmosphere, a measure of the star's metallicity, is nearly solar.<ref name=Rice_Brewer_2020/> It is rather dim compared to the Sun, radiating just 28% of the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,926 K.<ref name=Bonfanti_et_al_2016/>

Planetary systemEdit

In 2004, the Geneva Extrasolar Planet Search Team announced the discovery of an extrasolar planet orbiting the star.<ref name="Mayor2004"/> The preliminary data for a second exoplanet was released in 2011.<ref name=Mayor_et_al_2011/>
