HD 96127 and Its Planet
HD 96127 is a K2 III star 1920 light-years away with one known planet. Its spectral type places it among the cooler, redder K-class stars, and it is cooler than the Sun at 4150 K. The star's radius is 35 solar radii, larger than the Sun's. Its mass is 0.91 solar masses.
The planet HD 96127 b was found in 2011 by the radial velocity method, which measures the wobble a planet's gravity induces in its star's motion. It has an orbital period of 639 days. Its mass is 1210 Earth masses, larger than Earth's and roughly 3.8 times Jupiter's mass.
