HD 155233 bis a confirmedbrown dwarforbiting around theK-typegiant starHD 155233every 826 days, some 244light-yearsaway.[3]It has aminimum massof almost 3 times that of Jupiter, and so was initially thought to be agas giantexoplanetsimilar to Jupiter. However, in 2023 theinclinationand true mass of HD 155233 b were determined viaastrometry,showing it to be a brown dwarf about 32 times the mass of Jupiter in a nearly face-on orbit.[2][4]

HD 155233 b was discovered by Wittenmyer et al. in October 2015.[1]The orbit and mass were refined in 2016,[5]and again in 2023.[2]
