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.

This planet was detected by HARPS on October 19, 2009, together with 29 other planets.
An exoplanet is a planet located outside the Solar System. The first evidence of an exoplanet was noted as early as 1917, but was not recognized as such until 2016; no planet discovery has yet come from that evidence. What turned out to be the first detection of an exoplanet was published among a list of possible candidates in 1988, though not confirmed until 2003. The first confirmed detection came in 1992, with the discovery of terrestrial-mass planets orbiting the pulsar PSR B1257+12. The first confirmation of an exoplanet orbiting a main-sequence star was made in 1995, when a giant planet was found in a four-day orbit around the nearby star 51 Pegasi. Some exoplanets have been imaged directly by telescopes, but the vast majority have been detected through indirect methods, such as the transit method and the radial-velocity method. As of 1 May 2023, there are 5,366 confirmed exoplanets in 3,962 planetary systems, with 856 systems having more than one planet. This is a list of the most notable discoveries.
