It has been considered K5V, but is now known as M1III due to radius, as well as surface gravity.

Planetary system

From September 2008 to June 2012, the team B.-C. Lee, I. Han and M.-G. Park observed HD 208527 with "the high-resolution spectroscopy of the fiber-fed Bohyunsan Observatory Echelle Spectrograph at Bohyunsan Optical Astronomy Observatory ".
In 2012, a long-period, wide-orbiting planet was deduced by radial velocity. This was published in November, gaining the designation HD 208527 b. Along with HD 220074 b this is one of the first two planets proposed around a red giant.
