Abstract (from CDS):

ι Dra (HIP 75458) is a well-known example of a K giant hosting a substellar companion. We present radial velocity measurements of this star from observations taken with three different instruments spanning nearly 8 years. They show more clearly that the RV period is long-lived and coherent thus supporting the companion hypothesis. The longer time baseline now allows for a more accurate determination of the orbit with a revised period of P=511d and an additional small linear trend, indicative of another companion in a wide orbit. Moreover we show that the star exhibits low amplitude, solar-like oscillations with frequencies around 3-4d–1 (34.7-46.3µHz).
