Star HD 32518

    HD 32518 b, formally named Neri, is an extrasolar planet which orbits the K-type giant star HD 32518, located 399.7 light years away in the constellation Camelopardalis. It has a minimum mass three times greater than Jupiter and orbits the intermediate-mass giant star at a distance of only 0.59 AU in a very circular orbit. The orbit takes 10.35 months to complete one round trip around the star. [1] This planet was detected by the radial velocity method on August 12, 2009.

    For the 100th anniversary of the IAU HD 32518 and the planet HD 32518b were selected NameExoWorlds campaigns for Germany. The approved name of the planet HD 32518 b is Neri, named after the river Neri in Ethiopia, which runs through parts of the Mago National park. The name was suggested by pupils of a physics course at the Max-Born-Gymnasium in Neckargemünd. [2] [3] [4]

    HD 99109 is an orange-hued star with an exoplanetary companion in the constellation of Leo. It has an absolute visual magnitude of +9.10, which is too faint to be visible to the naked eye. The distance to this system is 179 light-years based on parallax, and it is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +33 km/s. The star is one and half degrees away from the celestial equator to the south.

    HD 68988 b is a hot jupiter located approximately 192 light-years away in the constellation of Ursa Major, orbiting the star HD 68988 in a moderately eccentric orbit.

    HD 16175 b is an exoplanet located approximately 195.7 light-years away in the constellation of Andromeda, orbiting the star HD 16175. This planet has a minimum mass 4.8 times that of Jupiter; the true mass was initially unknown since the inclination of the orbit was unknown. This planet orbits at about 2.2 astronomical units, taking 2.73 years to revolve around the star. The orbit of the planet is highly elliptical with an eccentricity of 0.64. In 2023, the inclination and true mass of HD 16175 b were determined via astrometry.


    HD 192699 b is an exoplanet located approximately 214 light-years away in the constellation of Aquila, orbiting the star HD 192699. This planet was discovered in April 2007, massing at least 2.5 times the mass of Jupiter (MJ). Despite its orbital distance more than that of Earth, the orbital period is less than a year, because the parent star is more massive than the Sun.

    HD 99109 b, formally named Perwana, is an extrasolar planet approximately 197 light-years away in the constellation of Leo. The planet was confirmed in 2006 to be orbiting the orange dwarf star HD 99109. The planet is about one half the mass of Jupiter, classifying the planet as a Jovian planet. The orbital eccentricity is about the same as Mars.

    HD 117618 b, named Noifasui by the IAU, is an exoplanet discovered orbiting the star HD 117618 in September 2004. The planet is a small gas giant less than a fifth the mass of Jupiter. It orbits close to its star in a very eccentric orbit.

    HD 208487 b is an extrasolar planet located approximately 144 light-years away in the constellation of Grus, orbiting the star HD 208487. This planet has a minimum mass close to half that of Jupiter and is most probably a gas giant. The planet orbits the star in a close, eccentric orbit. One revolution takes 130 days to complete. This planet was discovered on September 16, 2004 by Tinney, Butler, and Marcy et al. using Doppler spectroscopy to measure the star's radial velocity changing over time as the planet revolves around its orbit.

    HD 192263 b is a gas giant planet with a mass about three quarters that of Jupiter mass. It orbits the star in a circular orbit completing one revolution in 24 days or so. It was discovered in 2000 by the Geneva Extrasolar Planet Search team. The planet was independently detected by the California and Carnegie Planet Search team.

    HD 153950 b, also known as Trimobe, is an extrasolar planet located approximately 162 light-years away. This planet was discovered on October 26, 2008 by Moutou et al. using the HARPS spectrograph on ESO's 3.6 meter telescope installed at La Silla Observatory in Atacama desert, Chile.

    HD 20868 b is an extrasolar planet located approximately 156 light-years away in the constellation of Fornax, orbiting the 10th magnitude K-type subgiant star HD 20868. This planet has a minimum mass of 1.99 times more than Jupiter and orbits at a distance of 0.947 AU. This planet takes 380.85 days or 12.5 months to revolve around the star with an eccentricity of 0.75, one of the most eccentric of any known extrasolar planets. At periastron, the distance is 0.237 AU and at apastron, the distance is 1.66 AU.

    HD 173416 b, also named Wangshu, is an extrasolar planet located approximately 440 light years away in the constellation of Lyra, orbiting the 6th magnitude G-type giant star HD 173416. This is planet has at least 2.7 times the mass of Jupiter and was discovered on January 10, 2009 by Liu et al. HD 173416 b orbits at 1.16 AU from the star. However, despite the fact that the planet orbits 16% further from the star than Earth does from the Sun, it has orbital period of only 323.6 days, compared to 365.25 days for Earth. This inverse relationship is caused by the parent star having twice the mass of the Sun, which increases the strength of its gravitational field. This evidence implies that when this star was on the main sequence, it was an A-type star.

    HD 32518 is a solitary star in the northern circumpolar constellation Camelopardalis. It has an apparent magnitude of 6.42, placing it near the max naked eye visibility. Located about 400 light years away, it is receding with a heliocentric radial velocity of −7.02 km/s.
