Pincoya is a female water spirit from southern Chilean mythology who is said to bring drowned sailors to the Caleuche so that they can live in the afterlife.
[8][9] A 2015 survey ruled out the existence of any additional stellar companions at projected distances from 13 to 340 astronomical units.
[2] It is located at a distance of 128.5 light years from the Sun based on parallax,[1] and is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +6 km/s.
The star is radiating 26%[1] of the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,684 K.[5] A single super-Jupiter exoplanet was detected by the Magellan Planet Search Program in 2010 based on radial velocity variations of the host star.
[13] An astrometric measurement of the planet's inclination and true mass was published in 2022 as part of Gaia DR3.
