data

HD 106515 is a binary system (and currently visual trinary system).

The A and B stars are both G-class yellow dwarfs. They have separate entries in LTT. The A star is LTT 4599 (in the starbox) and the B star is LTT 4598 (G8 dwarf, mass 0.89). The two are gravitationally bound and separated at 310 AU. The binary semimajor axis is 390 AU.[2]

The third star in the visual trinary, BD-06 3533, is likely not bound with LTT 4599 and LTT 4598.[2]

Planetary system

From 1998 to 2012, the system was under observance from "the CORALIE echelle spectrograph at La Silla Observatory".

In 2012, a long-period, wide-orbiting planet was deduced at LTT 4599 / HD 106515 A by radial velocity. This was published in November. The planet has been pulled to an eccentric orbit by the B star LTT 4598.
