Roberts et al. (2011) reported a visual companion at a projected separation of 2.87 arcseconds, about 44-45 AUs. Kervella et al. (2019) estimate a mass of m ≈ 70-40+70 MJup, compatible with an early T-type brown dwarf. The visual companion may be gravitationally bound to 51 Peg, although further characterization is needed to confirm this.
