The star exhibits an infrared excess noise of unknown origin.[12]

Planetary System

edit

The primary star is home to the transiting extrasolar planet HAT-P-4b.[6] This planet is a fairly typical hot Jupiter type planet in a 3-day orbit.[6]

Binary companion

edit

The companion star is located at a distance of 28446 astronomical units and therefore has an orbital period that is extremely long.[5]
