HD 175541 b, also named Kavian, is a jovian planet located approximately 424 light-years away [3] 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. [1]
The planet HD 175541 b is called Kavian. The name was selected in the NameExoWorlds campaign by Iran, during the 100th anniversary of the IAU. Kaveh (name of the star HD 175541) carries a banner called Derafsh Kaviani in the Shahnameh. [4] [5]
The discovery of this planet and two others: HD 192699 b and HD 210702 b around intermediate-mass stars provide clues about the formation and history of migration of planets around the A-type stars.
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 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.
41 Lyncis, also designated HD 81688 and named Intercrus, is a fifth-magnitude star located in the northern constellation of Ursa Major. An extrasolar planet is thought to be orbiting the star.
HD 73534 is star with an orbiting exoplanet companion in the northern constellation of Cancer. With an apparent visual magnitude of 8.23, it is too faint to be visible to the naked eye. The distance to this system is 273 light years based on parallax measurements, and it is drifting further away with a heliocentric radial velocity of +10 km/s.
HD 43197 is a star with an exoplanetary companion in the southern constellation of Canis Major. It has been given the proper name Amadioha, as selected by Nigeria during the NameExoWorlds campaign that celebrated the 100th anniversary of the IAU. Amadioha is the god of thunder in Igbo mythology. It has an apparent visual magnitude of 8.98, meaning this is a ninth magnitude star that is too dim to be visible to the naked eye. The system is located at a distance of 204 light-years from the Sun based on parallax measurements, and is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +72 km/s. It made its closest approach some 583,000 years ago when it came to within 87 light-years.
HD 212771 b is an extrasolar planet orbiting the G-type star HD 212771 approximately 364 light years away in the constellation Aquarius.
HD 180902 b is an extrasolar planet orbiting the K-type star HD 180902 approximately 342 light years away in the constellation Sagittarius.
HD 181342 b is an extrasolar planet orbiting the K-type star HD 181342 approximately 394 light years away in the constellation Sagittarius.
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 98219, also named Hunahpú, is a subgiant star in the constellation Crater. It has a confirmed exoplanet. At around 4 billion years old, it is a star around 1.3 times as massive as the Sun that has cooled and expanded to 4.5 times the Sun's diameter, brightening to be around 11 times as luminous. The International Astronomical Union (IAU) gave the opportunity to Honduras to name the star Hunahpú as part of NameExoWorlds. Hunahpú was one of the twin gods who became the Sun in K'iche' (Quiché) Mayan mythology.
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. The system is roughly 399 light years from us.
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 108863 is a subgiant star, the primary of a binary star system 540 light-years away, belonging to spectral class K0. Its age is younger than the Sun's at 1.8±0.4 billion years. The primary star is slightly enriched in heavy elements, having 115% of solar abundance. The primary star does not have detectable flare activity.
HD 99706 is an orange-hued star in the northern circumpolar constellation of Ursa Major. With an apparent visual magnitude of 7.65, it is too dim to be visible to the naked eye but can be viewed with a pair of binoculars. Parallax measurements provide a distance estimate of approximately 480 light years from the Sun, and the Doppler shift shows it is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −30 km/s. It has an absolute magnitude of 2.12, indicating it would be visible to the naked eye as a 2nd magnitude star if it were located 10 parsecs away.
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.
HD 206610, also known as Bosona, is a star with an orbiting exoplanet in the constellation of Aquarius. Based on parallax measurements, it is located at a distance of approximately 482 light years from the Sun. The absolute magnitude of this star is 1.99, but at that distance it is too faint to view with the naked eye, having an apparent visual magnitude of 8.34. The system is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −18.6 km/s.
