HD 73256 and Its Planet

HD 73256 is a star 120 light-years away with a spectral type of G8/K0. It has a mass of 1.05 solar masses and a radius of 0.89 solar radii, and its temperature is 5570 K. Its age is 0.83 billion years. One planet orbits this host.

That planet, HD 73256 c, was discovered in 2023 by radial velocity, the method that detects the wobble a planet's gravity induces in its star's motion. Repeated wobbles reveal the planet and its orbital period. HD 73256 c has a mass of 5090 Earth masses and an orbital period of 2690 days. Its mass is larger than Earth's and roughly 16 times Jupiter's mass.
