HD 13931 is an 8th magnitude G-type star located approximately 144 light years away[1] in the constellation Andromeda. This star is larger, hotter, brighter, and more massive than our Sun. Also its metal content is about 8% greater than the Sun. In 2009, a very long-period gas giant planet was found in orbit around the star.
