data

HD 103774 is a young yellow-white main-sequence star of apparent magnitude 7.12 that is 181 ± 5 light-years distant from Earth. It is 1.335 ± 0.03 times as massive and 3.5 ± 0.3 as luminous as the Sun.[1]

Planetary system

From 2003 to 2012, the star was under observance from HARPS.

In 2012, a hot Saturn-mass[2] planet was deduced by radial velocity. This was published in January 2013.

Also probable is a dust field, with grains of 12 micrometres.
