HD 99706
This is an aging subgiant star belonging to spectral class K0, having exhausted the supply of hydrogen at its core and begun to evolve into a giant. Its age is younger than the Sun's at 2.8±0.2 billion years and it is spinning slowly with a projected rotational velocity of 2 km/s. The star has 1.5 times the mass of the Sun and has expanded to 5.5 times the Sun's radius. It is slightly enriched in heavy elements, having 110% of solar abundance. HD 99706 is radiating 13 times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,862 K.
An imaging survey at Calar Alto Observatory in 2016 failed to detect any stellar companions to HD 99706.
Planetary system
In 2011 one superjovian exoplanet, HD 99706 b, on a mildly eccentric orbit around star HD 99706 was discovered utilizing the radial velocity method. Another superjovian exoplanet on an outer orbit was detected in 2016.
