A survey in 2015 have ruled out the existence of any stellar companions at projected distances above 40 astronomical units.[4]
From 1998 to 2012, the star was under observance from "the CORALIE echelle spectrograph at La Silla Observatory".
In 2012, a long-period, wide-orbiting exoplanet was deduced by radial velocity. This was published in November.[3]
