    HD 23127 b is a jovian extrasolar planet orbiting the star HD 23127 at the distance of 2.29 AU, taking 3.32 years to orbit. The orbit is very eccentric, a so-called "eccentric Jupiter". At periastron, the distance is 1.28 AU, and at apastron, the distance is 3.30 AU. The mass is at least 1.37 times Jupiter. Only the minimum mass is known because the inclination is not known. [1]

    An eccentric Jupiter is a Jovian planet that orbits its star in an eccentric orbit. Eccentric Jupiters may probably disqualify a planetary system from having Earth-like planets in it because a massive gas giant with an eccentric orbit may remove all Earth mass exoplanets from the habitable zone, if not from the system entirely.

    HD 217107 b is an extrasolar planet approximately 65 light-years away from Earth in the constellation of Pisces. The planet was discovered orbiting the star HD 217107 approximately every seven days, classifying the planet as a hot Jupiter. Because of the planet's somewhat eccentric orbit, scientists were able to confirm another planet within the system.

    Pi Mensae b, also known as HD 39091 b, is an extrasolar planet approximately 59 light-years away in the constellation of Mensa. The planet was announced orbiting the yellow main-sequence star Pi Mensae in October 2001.

    HD 23127 is a star in the southern constellation of Reticulum. With an apparent visual magnitude of +8.58 it is not visible to the naked eye, but can be viewed with a good pair of binoculars. The star is located at a distance of 307 light years from the Sun based on parallax, and is drifting further away with a radial velocity of ~22 km/s. It has an absolute magnitude of 3.62.

    HD 159868 is a star in the southern constellation of Scorpius, positioned about 0.3° to the ESE of the bright star Theta Scorpii. With an apparent visual magnitude of +7.24, it is too faint to be visible to the naked eye but can be viewed with a small telescope. The star lies at a distance of 183 light years from the Sun based on parallax, but is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −24 km/s.

    54 Piscium b, occasionally catalogued as 54 Piscium Ab to differentiate from the brown dwarf in the system, is an extrasolar planet approximately 36 light-years away in the constellation of Pisces. It was discovered orbiting the orange dwarf star 54 Piscium. Its minimum mass is one-fifth that of Jupiter, and it orbits the star in a very eccentric orbit about every two months.

    HD 154857 is a star with two exoplanetary companions in the southern constellation of Ara. It is too dim to be visible with the naked eye having an apparent visual magnitude of 7.25. The star is located at a distance of 207 light years from the Sun based on parallax measurements, and is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +28 km/s.

    Gliese 777 b, also known as Gliese 777 Ab or HD 190360 b, is an extrasolar planet approximately 52 light-years away in the constellation of Cygnus. The planet was discovered orbiting the primary star of the Gliese 777 system in June 2002 using the radial velocity method. The planet is at least one half more massive than Jupiter but roughly the same size as Jupiter. In 2021, the inclination of Gliese 777 Ab was measured via astrometry, allowing the true mass of 1.8 MJ to be determined.

    HD 4113 is a dual star system in the southern constellation of Sculptor. It is too faint to be viewed with the naked eye, having an apparent visual magnitude of 7.88. The distance to this star, as estimated by parallax measurements, is 137 light years. It is receding away from the Sun with a radial velocity of +5 km/s.

    HD 66428 b is a long-period jovian exoplanet located approximately 174 light-years away in the constellation of Monoceros. It has a minimum mass of 2.82 MJ and takes 1973 days or 5.402 years to orbit around its solar-type star HD 66428. The average distance is 3.18 AU, about half the distance between Mars and Jupiter. This planet is a so-called eccentric Jupiter with an orbital eccentricity of 0.465. At periastron, the distance is 1.70 AU and at apastron, the distance is 4.66 AU. In 2022, the inclination and true mass of HD 66428 b were measured via astrometry.

    HD 187123 c is an extrasolar planet located approximately 156 light-years away in the constellation of Cygnus, orbiting the star HD 187123. This planet was published in 2006. The radius of the planet's orbit is 4.80 AU, 113 times more distant from the star than first companion. This takes 10 years to orbit. As it is typical for very long-period planets, the orbit is eccentric, referring to as "eccentric Jupiter". At periastron, the orbital distance is 3.60 AU and at apastron, the distance is 6.00 AU. The planet's mass is nearly 2 times that of Jupiter, but is likely to be smaller in size than the inner planet.

    HD 159868 b is an extrasolar planet that orbits HD 159868. It is a jovian planet. The orbit is nearly circular at the average distance of 2.25 AU.

    HD 154857 b is an extrasolar planet approximately 224 light years away in the constellation of Ara. This is a gas giant mass that orbits the star in an eccentric orbit. This planet was detected by using Anglo-Australian Telescope (AAT) UCLE spectrometer.

    HD 156846 b is an extrasolar planet located approximately 160 light-years away in the constellation of Ophiuchus, orbiting the star HD 156846. It has one of the most eccentric planetary orbits known. The high eccentricity of this planet's orbit is probably attributable to the presence of a red dwarf companion star. The average distance of the planet from HD 156846 is 0.99 AU, nearly identical to the distance of Earth from the Sun. The distance ranges from 0.15 AU to 1.83 AU with a 360-day period, also very close to the period of the Earth. It is also very massive with at least 10.45 Jupiter masses. The mass is a lower limit because the inclination of the orbit is not known; if its inclination and hence true mass became known, it would probably be found to be a brown dwarf, or even a red dwarf.

    HD 181433 c is an extrasolar planet located approximately 87 light-years away in the constellation of Pavo, orbiting the star HD 181433. This planet is at least 0.64 times as massive as Jupiter and takes 962 days to orbit the star at an orbital distance of 1.76 astronomical units (AU), or 263 gigametres (Gm). The orbit is eccentric, however, and ranges from 1.27 AU (190 Gm) at periastron to 2.25 AU (337 Gm) at apastron. François Bouchy et al. have published a paper detailing the HD 181433 planetary system in Astronomy and Astrophysics.

    HD 154672 b is an extrasolar planet located approximately 210 light-years away in the constellation of Ara, orbiting the metal-rich and aged star HD 154672. This planet has a minimum mass five times that of Jupiter and orbits at about 60% the distance between the Earth to the Sun. Its orbit is very elliptical, which causes temperatures on the planet to vary significantly as it proceeds along its orbit. This planet was discovered in Las Campanas Observatory on September 5, 2008 using the radial velocity method. Along with HD 205739 b, the planets were the first to be discovered by the N2K Consortium using the Magellan Telescopes.

    HD 240237 b is a super-Jupiter exoplanet orbiting the K-type giant star HD 240237 about 4,900 light-years (1,500 parsecs, or nearly 4.6×1016 km) away from Earth in the constellation Cassiopeia. It orbits outside of the habitable zone of its star at a distance of 1.9 AU. The exoplanet was found by using the radial velocity method, from radial-velocity measurements via observation of Doppler shifts in the spectrum of the planet's parent star. The planet has a mildly eccentric orbit.

    HD 1690 is a 9th magnitude orange giant star located approximately 2,500 light-years away in the constellation of Cetus. It is a single star, and is the host star to one known extrasolar planet.

    Kepler-1704b is a super-Jupiter on a highly eccentric orbit around the star Kepler-1704. It has a mass of 4.51 MJ. The planet's distance from its star varies from 0.16 to 3.9 AU. It is a failed hot Jupiter, been scattered from its birth orbit to orbit with periastron just above tidal circularization distance.
