HD 8673 is an F-type main sequence star approximately 118 light-years away[1] in the constellation of Andromeda. It has an apparent magnitude and absolute magnitude of 6.31 and 3.40 respectively. A sub-stellar companion was detected in 2005, it could either be a exoplanet or a brown dwarf.
Possible planetary system
An orbiting sub-stellar companion with a minimum mass 14 times that of Jupiter in a high-eccentricity orbit was discovered in 2005 and confirmed in 2010. This 1600 day object orbits at 3 AU away from its parent star.[2]
