HIP 70849 and Its Planet
HIP 70849 is a K5 star 78.5 light-years away, with a reported mass estimate of 0.614 solar masses, a radius estimate of 0.633 solar radii, and a temperature of 3940 K. All three estimates are smaller or cooler than the corresponding values for the Sun. One planet is known to orbit this host.
That planet, HIP 70849 b, was discovered in 2011 using the radial velocity method, which measures the wobble a planet's gravity induces in its star's motion; repeated wobbles reveal the planet and its orbital period. HIP 70849 b has a reported mass estimate of 1430 Earth masses, larger than Earth's, and roughly 4.5 times Jupiter's mass. It completes an orbit every 3650 days.
