HD 176051 is a spectroscopic binary star system approximately 49 light years away from Earth in the constellation Lyra. The pair orbit with a period of 22,423 days (61.4 years) and an eccentricity of 0.25. Compared to the Sun, they have a somewhat lower proportion of elements more massive than helium. Their individual masses are estimated at 1.07 and 0.71 solar masses (M☉).
Planetary system
A planet orbiting one of the stars was discovered through astrometric observations. However, it is not known which stellar component the planet is orbiting around.
The parent star is a binary star. The planet parameters are given for the 0.71 M☉ component B (Muterspaugh et al. 2010). If the planet is orbiting the 1.07 M☉ component A, its mass is 2.26 MJ and a = 2.02 AU.
