HD 17156, named Nushagak by the IAU, is a yellow subgiant star approximately 253 light-years away in the constellation of Cassiopeia. The apparent magnitude is 8.16, which means it is not visible to the naked eye but can be seen with good binoculars. It hosts one known exoplanet, HD 17156 b. A search for a binary companion star using adaptive optics at the MMT Observatory was negative.
