HD 46375 is double star[10] with an exoplanetary companion in the equatorial constellation of Monoceros.

It presents as an 8th-magnitude star with an apparent visual magnitude of 7.91,[2] which is too dim to be readily visible to the naked eye.

The system is located at a distance of 96.5 light-years from the Sun based on parallax measurements,[1] but is slowly drifting closer with a radial velocity of −1 km/s.

[1] The common proper motion stellar companion, designated HD 46375 B, has a linear projected separation of 346±13 AU.

On March 29, 2000, the planet HD 46375 b with a minimum mass three quarters that of Saturn was discovered by Marcy, Butler, and Vogt in California, together with 79 Ceti b.
