HD 43197 and Its Two Known Planets
HD 43197 is a G8 V star 204 light-years away. Its temperature is 5510 K, and its reported temperature is cooler than the Sun's. The star's mass estimate is 0.96 solar masses, smaller than the Sun's, and its radius is 1 solar radii.
Two planets are known to orbit HD 43197. HD 43197 b was discovered in 2010 by the radial velocity method, which measures the wobble a planet's gravity induces in its star's motion. It has a minimum mass of 176 Earth masses, larger than Earth's, and an orbital period of 309 days, the shortest year among the listed planets. HD 43197 c was discovered in 2022, also by radial velocity. Its mass estimate is 2500 Earth masses, larger than Earth's and roughly 7.87 times Jupiter's mass. Its orbital period is 9300 days, the longest year among the listed planets.
