HD 154345 b is an exoplanet orbiting the yellow dwarf HD 154345 in the constellation Hercules , about 59 light years from the Sun.

discovery

The planet was discovered in 2006 by a team of astronomers led by Jason T. Wright using the radial velocity method and the discovery was announced in early 2007. It was based on observations at the Keck Observatory in Hawaii . HD 154345 b was one of the first exoplanets to be classified as analogous to Jupiter .

properties

According to the model calculation of the discovery team, HD 154345 b has a minimum mass of approximately one mass of Jupiter and needs a little more than nine years to orbit its central star. Its major orbit half-axis is approximately 4.2 AU , with the orbit being almost circular. HD 154345 b therefore shows a great similarity to the planet Jupiter in the solar system in terms of mass, orbital time and distance to the star . A more recent study from 2012, however, assumes a higher eccentricity of the planet's orbit.
