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 416 light years from Earth. Despite of its distance of over 100 ly, there is the Gliese number 736.

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.[1]
