HD 86226 is a star with a pair of orbiting exoplanet companions, found in the constellation of Hydra.
The distance to this system has been determined by the parallax method, yielding a range of 149 light years.
[4] A survey in 2015 has ruled out the existence of any stellar companions at projected distances above 12 astronomical units.
The star is radiating 18% greater luminosity (compared to the Sun) from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,863 K.[5] It is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 3.6 km/s.
[6] As of 2014[update], Radio emission at a frequency of 150 MHz has been tentatively detected from the proximity of this system, although it is not clear whether the star or a satellite orbiting a rapidly rotating planet is the source.
