HD 154857 is a yellow main-sequence star approximately 224 light years away in the constellation of Ara.

Planetary system

There is one confirmed and one unconfirmed planet discovered in 2004 and 2007 respectively. The confirmed planet HD 154857 b has mass >1.8 times that of Jupiter. It orbits the star 20% further than Earth-Sun distance, taking 409 days with 47% eccentricity. The unconfirmed planet HD 154857 c with unknown mass takes at least 1900 days to orbit around the star with an orbital eccentricity exceeding 0.25.
