HD 122562 and Its Lone Known Planet
HD 122562 is a star located 174 light-years away, and it hosts one known planet. The star has a radius of 2.17 solar radii, making it larger than the Sun, and a temperature of 4960 K, which is cooler than the Sun.
The planet HD 122562 c was discovered in 2022 using the radial velocity method, which measures the wobble a planet's gravity induces in its star's motion. This world has a minimum mass of 73.1 Earth masses, a lower bound on its true mass that is larger than Earth's, and it completes one orbit every 85 days.
