The mag 7.3 star HD 10180 is about 3.25 degrees south of Achernar.
Here is the BBC article http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-11070991
"The researchers said the system around HD 10180 as unique in several respects.
It has at least five "Neptune-like planets" lying within a distance equivalent to the orbit of Mars, making it more populated than our own Solar System in its inner region. And all the planets seem to have almost circular orbits."
