HD 73534 is an 8th magnitude G-type subgiant star located approximately 260 light years away[1] in the constellation Cancer. A G5 star, it has evolved off the main sequence, which is why it is much more luminous than our Sun. In August 2009, it was announced that it has a planet. It is the first planetary system discovered in Cancer since that of 55 Cancri in April 1996, and the sixth planet, as 55 Cancri has five known planets.
