    Nomenclature

    HD 212771 b is named Victoriapeak. The name was selected in the NameExoWorlds campaign by Hong Kong, during the 100th anniversary of the IAU. It is named after the Victoria Peak, the highest point on Hong Kong Island. The host star HD 212771 is named Lionrock, after the Lion Rock. [4] [5]

    Properties

    Orbit

    HD 212771 b's orbit period and distance are similar to Earth's, with the values being 380 days and 1.19 AU respectively. It orbits in a nearly perfect circular orbit compared to long period gas giants.

    Due to the unknown orbital parameters, the planets true mass is not known, with a minimum of 2.39 times Jupiter's mass. HD 212771 b's radius is unknown, so NASA's Eyes on Exoplanets gives an estimate of 1.18 times the radius. [6]

    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 224693, also named Axólotl, is a star in the equatorial constellation of Cetus, and is positioned near the western constellation border with Aquarius. It can be viewed with a small telescope but is too faint to be seen with the naked eye, having an apparent visual magnitude of 8.23. Based on parallax measurements, the object is located at a distance of approximately 306 light years from the Sun. It is drifting further away with a radial velocity of 1.5 km/s.

    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 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 an orange subgiant star located approximately 177 light-years away in the constellation of Pegasus. With a mass of 1.8 times that of the Sun, the star spent its main-sequence life as an A-type star. The visual luminosity is 11.38 times that of the Sun and the magnitude is near the naked-eye limit, but binoculars can easily see it.

    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 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.

    6 Lyncis b is an extrasolar planet orbiting the K-type subgiant star 6 Lyncis which is approximately 182 light years away in the Lynx constellation. The planet has a minimum mass 2.4 MJ. The orbital period for this planet is 899 days, or 2.46 years. The orbital radius for this planet is 2.2 AU, periastron 1.9 AU, and apastron 2.5 AU, corresponding to the orbital eccentricity of 0.134. This planet was discovered on July 3, 2008 by Sato et al., who used Doppler spectroscopy to find variations of the line of sight motion of the star caused by the planet’s gravity during its orbit.
