    HD 204313 b is an extrasolar planet which orbits the G-type main sequence star HD 204313, located approximately 155 light years away in the constellation Capricorn. This planet orbits the star at a distance of 3.082 astronomical units and takes 1931 days or 5.29 years to revolve around the star. It has a minimum mass four times that of Jupiter. However the radius is not known since this planet was not detected by the transit method or direct imaging. Instead, this planet was detected by the radial velocity method using the CORALIE Echelle spectrograph mounted on the 1.2 meter Euler Swiss Telescope located at La Silla Observatory in Atacama desert, Chile on August 11, 2009. [2]

    The planet's existence was independently confirmed in 2015, [3] and in 2022 its inclination and true mass were measured via astrometry. [1]

    HD 169830 is a star in the southern constellation of Sagittarius. It has a yellow-white hue and is dimly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of +5.90. The star is located at a distance of 120 light years from the Sun based on parallax. It is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −17.3 km/s, and is predicted to come as close as 20.7 ly (6.4 pc) in 2.08 million years. HD 169830 is known to be orbited by two large Jupiter-like exoplanets.

    HD 83443 is an orange dwarf star approximately 134 light-years away in the constellation of Vela. As of 2000, at least one extrasolar planet has been confirmed to be orbiting the star. The star HD 83443 is named Kalausi. The name was selected in the NameExoWorlds campaign by Kenya, during the 100th anniversary of the IAU. The word Kalausi means a very strong whirling column of wind in the Dholuo language.

    HD 179949 is a 6th magnitude star in the constellation of Sagittarius. It is a yellow-white dwarf, a type of star hotter and more luminous than the Sun. The star is located about 90 light years from Earth and might be visible under exceptionally good conditions to an experienced observer without technical aid; usually binoculars are needed.

    HD 28185 is a yellow dwarf star similar to the Sun located 128 light-years away from Earth in the constellation Eridanus. The designation HD 28185 refers to its entry in the Henry Draper catalogue. The star is known to possess one long-period extrasolar planet.

    Leonhard Euler Telescope, or the Swiss EULER Telescope, is a national, fully automatic 1.2-metre (47 in) reflecting telescope, built and operated by the Geneva Observatory. It is located at an altitude of 2,375 m (7,792 ft) at ESO's La Silla Observatory site in the Chilean Norte Chico region, about 460 kilometers north of Santiago de Chile. The telescope, which saw its first light on 12 April 1998, is named after Swiss mathematician Leonhard Paul Euler.

    HD 147018 b is a gas giant extrasolar planet which orbits the G-type main sequence star HD 147018, located approximately 140 light years away in the constellation Triangulum Australe. This planet has minimum mass more than twice that of Jupiter but this planet orbits a lot closer to the star than Jupiter to the Sun by a factor of 22. Meanwhile, it has an eccentric orbit. The planet can get as close to the star as 0.13 AU or can get as far as 0.35 AU. Further out, there is another superjovian planet HD 147018 c, which was discovered on the same date as this planet, on August 11, 2009.

    HD 147018 c is a gas giant extrasolar planet which orbits the G-type main sequence star HD 147018, located approximately 140 light years away in the constellation Triangulum Australe. It has mass at least six and a half time more than Jupiter and orbits HD 147018 nearly twice the distance between the Earth and the Sun. This planet is eight times farther away than HD 147018 b. This planet was discovered on August 11, 2009 by radial velocity method.

    HD 147018 is a star in the southern constellation of Triangulum Australe. It has a yellow-orange hue with an apparent visual magnitude of 8.30, which is too faint to be seen with the naked eye but can be viewed with a small telescope. The star is located at a distance of 132 light years from the Sun based on parallax, but is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −27.5 km/s.

    HD 171238 is a 9th magnitude G-type main sequence star located approximately 146 light years away in the constellation Sagittarius. This star is a little bit cooler, less massive, older, and more metal-rich than the Sun, although its age is poorly constrained. In August 2009, it was announced that this star has a planet.

    HD 171238 b is an extrasolar planet which orbits the G-type main sequence star HD 171238, located approximately 164 light years away in the constellation Sagittarius. This planet has minimum mass two and a half times greater than Jupiter and orbits two times closer to the star than Jupiter to the Sun. However this planet orbits in an eccentric orbit, about two astronomical units difference between periastron and apastron distances. This planet was discovered in August 2009 by using the radial velocity method in La Silla Observatory, Chile.

    HD 204313 is a star with two and possibly three exoplanetary companions in the southern constellation of Capricornus. With an apparent magnitude of 7.99, it is an eighth magnitude star that is too faint to be readily visible to the naked eye.

    HD 219077 is a faint, yellow-hued star in the southern constellation of Tucana. It has an apparent visual magnitude of +6.12, which is near the lower limit on stars visible to the naked eye. Based upon an annual parallax shift of 34.25 mas as seen from Earth, it lies 95 light years from the Sun.
