HD 152079 and Its Single Known Planet
HD 152079 is a G6 V star located 287 light-years from Earth. This Sun-like dwarf has an age of 3 billion years, a mass of 1.1 solar masses, a radius of 1.15 solar radii, and a temperature of 5730 K. Its reported mass and radius estimates are both larger than the Sun's. One planet is known to orbit this host.
That planet is HD 152079 b, discovered in 2009 by the radial velocity method, which detects the wobble a planet's gravity induces in its star's motion. Its minimum mass is 846 Earth masses, a lower bound on its true mass that is larger than Earth's and roughly 2.66 times Jupiter's mass. The planet completes one orbit every 2920 days, or 2920 days, and no orbital period is reported for it.
