14 Herculis or 14 Her is a K-type main-sequence star 58.4 light-years away in the constellation Hercules. It is also known as HD 145675. Because of its apparent magnitude, of 6.61 the star can be very faintly seen with the naked eye. As of 2021, 14 Herculis is known to host two exoplanets in orbit around the star.
83 Leonis, abbreviated 83 Leo, is a binary star system approximately 59 light-years away in the constellation of Leo. The primary star of the system is a cool orange subgiant star, while the secondary star is an orange dwarf star. The two stars are separated by at least 515 astronomical units from each other. Both stars are presumed to be cooler than the Sun.
HD 164922 is a seventh magnitude G-type main sequence star in the constellation of Hercules. To view it, binoculars or a telescope are necessary, as it is too faint to be visible to the naked eye. It is 71.7 light-years distant from the Earth. It will soon evolve away from the main-sequence and expand to become a red giant.
HD 154345 b is a Jupiter-mass extrasolar planet orbiting the star HD 154345.
HD 66428 is a G-type main sequence star located approximately 174 light-years away in the constellation of Monoceros. This star is similar to the Sun with an apparent magnitude of 8.25, an effective temperature of 5705 ± 27 K and a solar luminosity 1.28. Its absolute magnitude is 11.1 while its U-V color index is 0.71. It is considered an inactive star and it is metal-rich . This star has a precise mass of 1.14552 solar masses. This precision comes from the Corot mission that measured asteroseismology.

HD 68988 is a star in the northern constellation of Ursa Major. It has been given the proper name Násti, which means star in the Northern Sami language. The name was selected in the NameExoWorlds campaign by Norway, during the 100th anniversary of the IAU. HD 68988 is too faint to be seen with the naked eye, having an apparent visual magnitude of 8.20. The star is located at a distance of 199 light years from the Sun based on parallax. It is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −69 km/s and is predicted to come as close as 78 light-years in 617,000 years.
HD 5319 is an 8th magnitude star approximately 319 light years away in the constellation Cetus. It is a subgiant star of spectral type K3, having run out of hydrogen in its core. When it was main-sequence, the spectral type was early F or late A.
HD 24040 is a star with two orbiting exoplanets in the equatorial constellation of Taurus. The star is too faint to be viewed with the naked eye, having an apparent visual magnitude of 7.50. Based on parallax measurements, it is located at a distance of 152 light years. However, it is drifting closer to the Sun with a radial velocity of −9.4 km/s.
HD 68988 c is an exoplanet located approximately 192 light-years away in the constellation of Ursa Major, orbiting the star HD 68988. The parameters including period and eccentricity are highly uncertain. The semimajor axis was initially believed to be 5.32 AU with an orbital period of 4100 ± 7300 days. The planetary orbit was significantly refined in 2021.
HD 17156 b, named Mulchatna by the IAU, is an extrasolar planet approximately 255 light-years away in the constellation of Cassiopeia. The planet was discovered orbiting the yellow subgiant star HD 17156 in April 2007. The planet is classified as a relatively cool hot Jupiter planet slightly smaller than Jupiter but slightly larger than Saturn. This highly-eccentric three-week orbit takes it approximately 0.0523 AU of the star at periastron before swinging out to approximately 0.2665 AU at apastron. Its eccentricity is about the same as 16 Cygni Bb, a so-called "eccentric Jupiter". Until 2009, HD 17156 b was the transiting planet with the longest orbital period.

The system is located at a distance of 150.5 light years from the Sun based on parallax measurements, but is drifting closer with a high radial velocity of −79 km/s. It is expected to draw as close as 57.5 light-years in ~492,000 years.

Gliese 179 b is an extrasolar planet which orbits the M-type main sequence star Gliese 179, located approximately 40 light years away in the constellation Orion. This planet has a minimum mass somewhat less than Jupiter and it orbits at 2.42 AU from the star with an eccentricity slightly less than Pluto. The planetary distance ranges from 1.90 to 2.92 AU.
