HD 85390 is a star with an exoplanet companion in the southern constellation of Vela. It was given the proper name Natasha by Zambia during the 100th anniversary of the IAU. Natasha means "thank you" in many languages of Zambia. [8] [9] This star is too faint to be seen with the naked eye, having an apparent visual magnitude of 8.54. [2] It is located at a distance of 109 light years from the Sun based on parallax, and is drifting further away with a radial velocity of 33 km/s. [1]
The stellar classification of HD 85390 is K1.5V, [3] showing this to be a K-type main-sequence star. It is an older star with age estimates of 7–9 billion years, and is not considered chromospherically active. [10] The star is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 2 km/s. [6] It is smaller, cooler, dimmer, and less massive than the Sun, [5] but the metallicity is near solar. [6]
The planet b was detected by the radial velocity method in 2011. [10] It is following an eccentric orbit at a distance of 1.4 AU from the host star. [11] An additional planet in the system was suspected since 2013, [12] only to be refuted in 2019. [11]

HD 83443 is an orange dwarf star approximately 134 light-years away in the constellation of Vela. As of 2000, at least one extrasolar planet has been confirmed to be orbiting the star. The star HD 83443 is named Kalausi. The name was selected in the NameExoWorlds campaign by Kenya, during the 100th anniversary of the IAU. The word Kalausi means a very strong whirling column of wind in the Dholuo language.
HD 20367 is a star in the constellation of Aries, close to the border with the Perseus constellation. It is a yellow-white hued star that is a challenge to view with the naked eye, having an apparent visual magnitude of 6.40. Based upon parallax measurements, it is located 85 light years from the Sun. It is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +6.5 km/s. Based upon its movement through space, it is a candidate member of the Ursa Major Moving Group of co-moving stars that probably share a common origin.
HD 52265 is a 6th-magnitude G-type main sequence star located approximately 98 light-years away in the constellation of Monoceros. It is 21% more massive than and more than twice as luminous as the Sun. The age of the star is roughly 2.6 billion years. The star HD 52265 is named Citalá. The name was selected in the NameExoWorlds campaign by El Salvador, during the 100th anniversary of the IAU. Citalá means River of stars in the native Nahuat language.
HD 65216 is a triple star system with two exoplanetary companions in the southern constellation of Carina. With an apparent visual magnitude of 7.97 it cannot be readily seen without technical aid, but with binoculars or telescope it should be visible. The system is located at a distance of 114.7 light-years from the Sun based on parallax measurements, and is drifting further away with a radial velocity of 42.6 km/s.
HR 7703 is a binary star system in the constellation of Sagittarius. The brighter component has an apparent visual magnitude of 5.31, which means it is visible from suburban skies at night. The two stars are separated by an angle of 7.10″, which corresponds to an estimated semimajor axis of 56.30 AU for their orbit.
HD 89744 is a star in the northern circumpolar constellation of Ursa Major, positioned about 0.4° due south of the bright star Tania Australis. This object has a yellow-white hue and is dimly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.73. The distance to this star has been measured using the patallax method, which locates it 126 light years from the Sun. It is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −4.4 km/s. There are two known exoplanets orbiting this star.
HD 92788 is a star in the equatorial constellation of Sextans. It has a yellow hue but is too dim to be visible to the naked eye, having an apparent visual magnitude of 7.31. The star is located at a distance of 113 light years from the Sun based on parallax, but is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −4.5 km/s. Two planets have been found in orbit around the star.
HD 52265 b, formally named Cayahuanca, is a gas giant exoplanet located approximately 98 light-years away in the constellation of Monoceros, orbiting the star HD 52265. The planet has a minimum mass slightly more than that of Jupiter. Mean distance between the planet and the star is half that of Earth from the Sun. It was discovered by both the California and Carnegie Planet Search team and the Geneva Extrasolar Planet Search team independently of each other. By studying the fluctuations of the brightness of a host star, the inclination of the stars equator was determined. This allowed to calculate its true mass, assuming that the planet orbits in the plane of the star's equator.
HD 65216 b is an extrasolar planet located approximately 115 light-years away in the constellation of Carina, orbiting the star HD 65216. This planet was discovered by the Geneva Extrasolar Planet Search Team in 2003. Like most planet candidates so far, it was detected with the radial velocity method.
HD 175167 is a star with an exoplanet companion in the southern constellation of Pavo. It is too faint to be visible with the naked eye at an apparent visual magnitude of 8.01. The system is located at a distance of 232 light years from the Sun based on parallax measurements, and it is drifting further away with a radial velocity of 5 km/s. It shows a high proper motion, traversing the celestial sphere at an angular rate of 0.190 arcsec yr−1.
HD 114613 is a fifth magnitude yellow subgiant that lies 66.7 light-years away in the constellation of Centaurus. The star may be host to a long-period giant planet.

HD 207832 is a G-type main-sequence star. Its surface temperature is 5764±15 K. HD 207832 is slightly enriched compared to the Sun in its concentration of heavy elements, with a metallicity Fe/H index of 0.17±0.01 and is much younger at an age of 0.74±0.62 billion years.
