HD 153950 is a star in the southern constellation of Scorpius, positioned about 1.2° to the west of Eta Scorpii.
However, given its position on the H-R diagram, this star has likely already started to evolve off the main sequence.
The abundance of iron, what astronomers term the star's metallicity, is equal to the Sun within the margin of error.
It is radiating more than double the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 6,076 K.[4] In October 2008, an exoplanet of this star was discovered.
This object was detected using the radial velocity method by search programs conducted using the HARPS spectrograph.
