HD 3346, also known as V428 Andromedae, is an orange giant star approximately 655 light-years away in the constellation of Andromeda.
In 1996 it was announced that the variations in radial velocity of this star were larger than expected. A planetary system was proposed to explain this variation.[1][2]
