HD 38529 Ac is a brown dwarf companion to HD 38529 A. Radial velocity measurements give a minimum mass of 12.7 times that of Jupiter, close to the brown dwarf limit at 13 Jupiter masses. Astrometric measurements from the Hipparcos mission give a best fit inclination of 160° and a mass 37 times that of Jupiter.

[edit] HD 38529 B

HD 38529 B is a common proper motion stellar companion to HD 38529 A at a projected distance of about 12042 AU. The star is a red dwarf of spectral type M3.0V.
