            Alternative planet names N/A
            Description The semi-major axis of this planet is closer relative to that of the outer binary of the hierarchical star system than for any known exoplanet within a stellar multiple, making HD 131399 dynamically unlike any other known system. Subsequent analysis by Nielsen et al. (2017) indicates that this object is a background star.
