HD 175541 is an intermediate-mass subgiant star in the constellation Serpens. That means when this star was a main-sequence, it was an A-type star. It is an 8th magnitude star about 410 light years from Earth. Despite its distance of over 100 ly, It was given the number 736 in the Gliese Catalogue of Nearby Stars.

In April 2007, the planet was found orbiting around one of the three preferred intermediate-mass subgiants that has changes in radial velocity trends, from Lick and Keck Observatories in Mount Hamilton (California) and Mauna Kea (Hawai'i), USA.[2]
