Is There an Object Named “Turner 5” in Orion?

Question:

Hi, hope you’re well. I’ve combed the net trying to find this answer, but am at an absolute loss. Hope you can help. What is Turner 5 in Orion’s Arm? Is it a star, does it have planets around it?

I’m writing a sci fi comedy set in Orion’s Arm (on the outer edges of it), so I’m really looking for known stars and planetary systems.

Thank you in advance. Great service!

Answer:

I could not find any evidence for an object named “Turner 5” in Orion.  You can, though, find information on stars and planets in Orion that might help with your research.
