HD 41004 A and Its Lone Known Planet
HD 41004 A is a K-type dwarf 120 light-years away, with a reported upper limit of 1 billion years on its age and 0.95 solar masses. Its radius estimate is 0.85 solar radii, smaller than the Sun's, and its 5310 K temperature is cooler than the Sun's. One planet has been found in orbit around this star.
That planet, HD 41004 A b, was discovered in 2004 by the radial velocity method, which tracks the wobble a planet's gravity induces in its star's motion. Its minimum mass is 807 Earth masses, larger than Earth's and roughly 2.54 times Jupiter's mass. It completes one orbit every 963 days.
