'''HD 113538''' ('''Gliese 496.1''') is a star with two planetary companions in the southern [[constellation]] of [[Centaurus]]. It is much too faint to be viewed with the naked eye at an [[apparent visual magnitude]] of 9.05.<ref name=Anderson_Francis_2012/> The distance to this star is 53&nbsp;[[light year]]s and it is drifting further away with a [[radial velocity]] of +39&nbsp;km/s.<ref name="Moutou_et_al_2015"/>

This is a [[K-type main-sequence star]] of a late spectral type, [[stellar classification|classified]] as K9Vk:. It displays [[magnetic activity|chromospheric activity]] with a [[solar cycle|stellar cycle]] of at least four years and is [[metallicity|metal]] poor.<ref name="Moutou_et_al_2015"/> The star has 58.5% of the mass and 53% of the radius of the [[Sun]].<ref name="Moutou_et_al_2015"/> It is radiating just 12.7%<ref name=GaiaDR2/> of the luminosity of the Sun from its [[photosphere]] at an [[effective temperature]] of 4,462&nbsp;K.<ref name="Moutou_et_al_2015"/>

== Planetary system == Radial velocity variation of HD 113538 was inferred from observations with the [[High Accuracy Radial Velocity Planet Searcher|HARPS spectrograph]]. The star is active (Log R'<sub>HK</sub> −4.697,<ref name="NStars"/> SMW 1.05<ref name="Moutou_et_al_2015"/>), but the RV variation is not correlated with activity, indicating that planets are responsible. The data is fitted well by a solution including two planets, with an eccentric Saturn-mass planet and a more massive planet on a longer-period orbit<ref name=Moutou_et_al_2011/>—similar to the orbital architecture of the planetary system orbiting [[HD 163607]], though with lower masses. Similar to HD 163607 b, the eccentricity and argument of periastron of HD 113538 b increases the planet's transit probability substantially more than it would be on a circular orbit.
