Wiki

HD 181433 is a star located approximately 87 light-years away in the constellation of Pavo (the Peacock). According to SIMBAD, it has a stellar classification of K3III-IV, which puts it on the borderline between being a red giant and a subgiant. This is inconsistent with the fact that its luminosity is only 0.308 times that of the Sun. Its entry in the Hipparcos catalogue lists a spectral type of K5V, classifying it as a dwarf star. As of 2008, three extrasolar planets are thought to be orbiting the star. There is currently little information on these planets. The name of this star comes from its identifier in the Henry Draper catalogue.
