Wiki

HD 5388 (78 G. Phoenicis) is a 7th magnitude F-type main sequence star located approximately 175 light years away in the constellation Phoenix. This star is larger, hotter, brighter, and more massive than our Sun. Also its metal content is half as much as the Sun. In 2009, a gas giant planet was found in orbit around the star. This was later demonstrated to be a brown dwarf rather than a planet.
