HD 64121 b: A Giant Planet Orbiting a Distant Star

HD 64121 is a star located 424 light-years away, and it hosts one known planet. The star's spectral type is G8/K0 III, and its reported mass estimate is 1.64 solar masses, larger than the Sun's. Its reported radius estimate is 5.44 solar radii, also larger than the Sun's, while its reported temperature of 5080 K is cooler than the Sun's.

The planet HD 64121 b was discovered in 2022 using the radial velocity method, which measures the wobble a planet's gravity induces in its star's motion. Its minimum mass is 814 Earth masses, a lower bound on its true mass that is larger than Earth's and roughly 2.56 times Jupiter's mass. The planet completes one orbit in 623 days.
