HD 20782 is a Sun-like star in the constellation Fornax, about 116 light-years away . It has an apparent visual magnitude of 7.4 mag. The star is orbited by an exoplanet with the systematic name HD 20782 b with an orbital period of almost 600 days.
Planetary companion
HD 20782 b is in a strongly elliptical orbit with an eccentricity of 0.96 and a semi-major axis of approx. 1.4 astronomical units . The minimum mass is less than 2 masses of Jupiter; this suggests that it is a gas planet . The object was discovered using the radial velocity method.
