HD 3346, also known as V428 Andromedae, is an orange giant star approximately 620 light-years away^[1] in the constellation of Andromeda.

Possible planetary system

In 1996 it was announced that the variations in radial velocity of this star were larger than expected. A planetary system was proposed to explain this variation.^[2]^[3]
