HD 11506 is a yellow dwarf star in the constellation Cetus. It is 8th magnitude and about 169 ly away.

Planetary system

The superjovian planet HD 11506 b was discovered orbiting the star by the N2K Consortium using the doppler spectroscopy method. This planet was announced by Debra Fischer in the United States in 2007.[2] In 2009, the second planet HD 11506 c was discovered by using Bayesian analysis.[3]
