Given the presence of an unseen, relatively close white dwarf tertiary companion, the circumbinary planet is also a candidate second generation planet.

Close-in spectroscopic binary (P = 0.3319 d) with an G dwarf secondary (m₁ = 0.579 M_Sol, m₂ = 1.034 M_Sol, r₁ = 0.822 R_Sol, r₂ = 1.15 R_Sol, T₁ = 5450 K, T₂ = 5020 K; Li et al. 2014).
Demircan et al. (1994) suggested that observed period variability may be a result of the orbital motion in a wide triple system and the third body would be a white dwarf (m₃ = 0.4-0.5 M_Sol). Li et al. (2014) confirm the third body hypothesis (P₃ ≈ 106 y, e₃ = 0.41 ± 0.15) whereas Kozyreva et al. (2018) infer the presence of even a fourth body in the system, likely an ultracool M dwarf (m₄ = 0.1 M_Sol, P₄ ≈ 59 y, e₄ = 0.87), although dynamically unstable.
