    HD 102956 b or Isagel is an extrasolar planet discovered in 2010 by a team of American astronomers led by John Johnson using Doppler spectroscopy and the Keck Observatory in Hawaii. HD 102956 b is in the orbit of host star HD 102956. The planet is at most the mass of Jupiter, orbiting every 6.5 days at a distance of 12 million km. HD 202956 b has a very circular orbit. [1] The system is roughly 399 light years from us.

    Discovery and nomenclature

    HD 102956 is located inside the Big Dipper. HD102956b location.png
    HD 102956 is located inside the Big Dipper.

    The name HD 102956 derives directly from the fact that the star is the 102,956th star catalogued in the Henry Draper catalog. The designation of b is given to the first planet orbiting a given star.

    The star is one of the 2.5 million brightest stars in the sky and is part of the Tycho-2 Catalogue. It is not visible to the naked eye with an apparent magnitude of 8.

    NameExoWorlds

    In 2019 this planet was announced as part of the IAU NameExoWorlds project [5] where it was designated as the planet that will be named by Sweden. The winning proposal was Isagel, from Nobel laureate Harry Martinson's space poem Aniara . [6]

    Host star

    HD 102956 (Aniara) is an orange subgiant with a mass and radius of 1.68 and 4.4 solar, respectively. The surface temperature is about 5054 Kelvin. The luminosity of the star exceeds that of the sun by 11.6 times. The star's age is estimated at 2.3 billion years.

    HD 217107 is a yellow subgiant star approximately 65 light-years away from Earth in the constellation of Pisces. Its mass is very similar to the Sun's, although it is considerably older. Two planets have been discovered orbiting the star: one is extremely close and completes an orbit every seven days, while the other is much more distant, taking fourteen years to complete an orbit.

    109 Piscium is a yellow hued G-type main-sequence star located about 108 light-years away in the zodiac constellation of Pisces. It is near the lower limit of visibility to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 6.27. The star is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of −45.5 km/s. It has one known exoplanet.

    HD 175541 is an 8th magnitude star with an exoplanetary companion in the constellation Serpens. It has the proper name Kaveh, which was selected by Iran during the NameExoWorlds campaign as part of the 100th anniversary of the IAU. Kaveh is one of the heroes of Shahnameh. The apparent visual magnitude of 8.02 is too faint for this star to be visible in the naked eye. It is located at a distance of approximately 424 light years from the Sun based on parallax measurements, and is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +20 km/s. Despite its distance, it was given the number 736 in the Gliese Catalogue of Nearby Stars.

    HD 11964 is a binary star system located 110 light-years away from the Sun in the equatorial constellation of Cetus. It is visible in binoculars or a telescope but is too faint to be seen with the naked eye, having an apparent visual magnitude of 7.51. The system is drifting closer to the Sun with a radial velocity of −9 km/s. Two extrasolar planets have been confirmed to orbit the primary.

    HD 185269 is a stellar triple system approximately 170 light-years away in the constellation Cygnus. It is easily visible to binoculars, but not the naked eye.

    HD 192699 is a yellow subgiant star located approximately 214 light-years away in the constellation of Aquila. It has the apparent magnitude of 6.45. Based on its mass of 1.68 solar, it was an A-type star when it was a main-sequence. In April 2007, a planet was announced orbiting the star, together with HD 175541 b and HD 210702 b.

    HD 210702 is a star with an orbiting exoplanet in the northern constellation of Pegasus. It has an apparent visual magnitude of 5.93, which is bright enough that the star is dimly visible to the naked eye. The distance to HD 210702 is 177 light years based on parallax measurements, and it is drifting further away with a radial velocity of 18.5 km/s. It is a probable member of the Ursa Major moving group, an association of co-moving stars.

    HD 192699 b, also named Khomsa, is an exoplanet located approximately 214 light-years away in the constellation of Aquila, orbiting the star HD 192699. This planet was discovered in April 2007, massing at least 2.5 times the mass of Jupiter (MJ). Despite its orbital distance more than that of Earth, the orbital period is less than a year, because the parent star is more massive than the Sun.

    HD 210702 b is an exoplanet located approximately 177 light-years away in the constellation of Pegasus, orbiting the star HD 210702. This planet, together with HD 175541 b and HD 192699 b, are planets around intermediate mass stars that were announced in April 2007 by Johnson et al. It has at least twice the mass of Jupiter and it orbits with semimajor axis of 1.17 AU, corresponding to a period of 341.1 days.

    HD 175541 b, also named Kavian, is a jovian planet located approximately 424 light-years away in the constellation of Serpens, orbiting the star HD 175541. This planet was discovered in April 2007. Despite the distance of planet to star slightly more than Earth to the Sun, the period is less than 300 days that orbits in an eccentric orbit, because the parent star is 65% more massive than the Sun.

    HD 185269 b is a hot Jupiter extrasolar planet approximately 170 light years away in the constellation of Cygnus. The minimum mass is slightly less than Jupiter and the orbital period is about one week. Most hot Jupiters are thought to have undergone tidal circularization, making the eccentricity of HD 185269 b (e=0.3) unusual. Despite having a large transit probability, none have yet been detected by various photometric monitoring campaigns.

    HD 200964 is a star with a pair of orbiting exoplanets located in the northern constellation of Equuleus. It has an apparent visual magnitude of +6.48, which puts it at the lower limit of visibility to the naked eye, but binoculars would make it easy to see.

    HD 180902 is a star with two or more orbiting companions in the southern constellation of Sagittarius. This system is located at a distance of approximately 342 light years from the Sun based on parallax measurements, but is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −2.8 km/s. It has an absolute magnitude of 2.5, but at that distance the apparent visual magnitude of the system is 7.8, which is too faint to be seen with the naked eye.

    HD 181342 is a star with an orbiting exoplanet in the constellation of Sagittarius. With an apparent magnitude of 7.55, it cannot be seen with the naked eye. Parallax measurements made by Gaia spacecraft put the star at a distance of 394 light-years away. It is drifting closer with a heliocentric radial velocity of radial_v −0.8 km/s.

    HD 82886, also named Illyrian, is a star with an orbiting exoplanet in the constellation Leo Minor. It has an apparent visual magnitude of 7.63, which indicates it is too faint to be viewed with the naked eye. The distance to this system is approximately 413 light years, as measured using parallax. It is drifting further away with a heliocentric radial velocity of 12.7 km/s.

    HD 131496 is an evolved subgiant star with an orbiting exoplanet in the constellation Boötes. With an apparent visual magnitude of 7.9 it is too faint to be visible to the naked eye. It is located at a distance of 432 light-years based on parallax measurements, and is drifting further away with a heliocentric radial velocity of 1.4 km/s. At an age of around three billion years, this star has 1.6 times the mass of the Sun and has expanded to 4.3 times the Sun's radius. It is radiating around ten times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,927 K.

    HD 4313 is a star with an orbiting exoplanetary companion in the constellation of Pisces. It has an apparent visual magnitude of 7.83, which is too faint to be reading visible to the unaided eye. The systam is located at a distance of 446 light years based on parallax, and is drifting further away with a radial velocity of 14.5 km/s. This is a single star, which means it has no binary partners, at least in range of projected separations from 6.85 to 191.78 AU. It hosts an extrasolar planet.
