HD 74156 c is an extrasolar planet with a minimum mass about eight times that of Jupiter orbiting the star HD 74156. It is most likely a gas giant. This planet was discovered by Dominique Naef and Michel Mayor in April 2001 together with the planet HD 74156 b. [2] [1] In 2022, the inclination and true mass of HD 74156 c were measured via astrometry. [3]
HD 74156 is a yellow dwarf star in the constellation of Hydra, 187 light years from the Solar System. It is known to be orbited by two giant planets.
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 150706 is a 7th magnitude star in the constellation of Ursa Minor. It is a remarkably Sun-like yellow dwarf being only 6% less massive than the Sun.
ELODIE was an echelle spectrograph installed on the 1.93m reflector at the Observatoire de Haute-Provence in south-eastern France. Its optical instrumentation was developed by André Baranne from the Marseille Observatory. The purpose of the instrument was extrasolar planet detection by the radial velocity method.
47 Ursae Majoris c, formally named Taphao Kaew is an extrasolar planet approximately 46 light-years from Earth in the constellation of Ursa Major. The planet was discovered located in a long-period around the star 47 Ursae Majoris. Its orbit lasts 6.55 years and the planet has a mass at least 0.540 times that of Jupiter.
14 Herculis b or 14 Her b is an exoplanet approximately 58.4 light-years away in the constellation of Hercules. The planet was found orbiting the star 14 Herculis, with a mass that would make the planet a Jovian planet roughly the same size as Jupiter but much more massive. It was discovered in July 1998 by the Geneva Extrasolar Planet Search team. The discovery was formally published in 2003. At the time of discovery it was the extrasolar planet with the longest orbital period, though longer-period planets have subsequently been discovered.
HD 132406 b is a long-period, massive gas giant exoplanet orbiting the Sun-like star HD 132406. HD 132406 b has a minimum mass 5.61 times the mass of Jupiter. The orbital distance from the star is almost twice that of from Earth to the Sun. The orbital period is 2.7 years.
HD 89307 is a star in the equatorial constellation of Leo. It is too faint to be viewed with the naked eye except under ideal conditions, having an apparent visual magnitude of 7.02. The star is located at a distance of 104 light-years from the Sun based on parallax, and is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +23 km/s.
HD 24040 is a metal-rich G-type star located approximately 152 light-years away in the constellation of Taurus. In 2006 a long-period planet was discovered.
HD 74156 b is an extrasolar planet at least 1.88 times the mass of Jupiter that orbits the star HD 74156. It is most likely a gas giant. This planet was discovered in April 2001 by Dominique Naef and Michel Mayor along with the second planet HD 74156 c.
HD 169830 b is an extrasolar planet three times the mass of Jupiter. Due to its high mass, it is most likely a gas giant planet, akin to Jupiter and Saturn in the Solar System. This planet at 0.8 AU is slightly farther out than Venus is in the Solar System, orbiting around its star every 262 days.
HD 196885 Ab is a Jovian planet with a minimum mass 2.96 times the mass of Jupiter. This planet was discovered on October 23, 2007. In 2022, the planet's inclination and true mass were measured via astrometry, showing it to be about 3.39 MJ.
HD 24040 b is a long-period exoplanet taking approximately 3500 days to orbit at 4.6 astronomical units in an almost circular orbit. It has a minimum mass 4 times that of Jupiter.
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 43197 b is an extrasolar planet which orbits the G-type main sequence or subgiant star HD 43197, located approximately 204 light years away in the constellation Canis Major. This planet has a minimum mass 55% that of Jupiter and takes 0.85 years to orbit the star at a semimajor axis of 0.882 AU. Its has a high eccentricity of 0.74, but its inclination is not known. This planet was detected by HARPS on October 19, 2009, together with 29 other planets.
HD 113538 is a star with two planetary companions in the southern constellation of Centaurus. It is much too faint to be viewed with the naked eye at an apparent visual magnitude of 9.05. The distance to this star is 53 light years and it is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +39 km/s.
HD 222155 is a star in the northern constellation of Andromeda. It is a yellow star that can be viewed with binoculars or a small telescope, but is too faint to be seen with the naked eye at an apparent visual magnitude of 7.1. The imaging survey in 2017 did not detect any stellar companions to HD 222155.
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.
HD 217786 is a binary star system in the equatorial constellation of Pisces. With an apparent visual magnitude of 7.78, it requires binoculars or a small telescope to view. The system is located at a distance of 181 light-years from the Sun based on parallax, and is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +10 km/s. Kinematically, the star system belongs to the thin disk population of the Milky Way.
HD 7449 is a binary star system about 126 light-years way. The primary star, HD 7449 A, is a main-sequence star belonging to the spectral class F9.5. It is younger than the Sun. The primary star is slightly depleted of heavy elements, having 80% of solar abundance.
