HD 126105 and Its Lone Known Planet

HD 126105 is a K1 III star located 270 light-years away. It is 4.9 billion years old, holds 1.2 solar masses, spans 4.21 solar radii, and has a temperature of 4880 K. Its radius is larger than the Sun's, and its temperature is cooler. One planet has been found around this star.

That planet, HD 126105 b, was discovered in 2026 by the radial velocity method, which detects the wobble a planet's gravity induces in its star's motion; repeated wobbles reveal the planet and its orbital period. The planet's minimum mass is 531 Earth masses, a lower bound on its true mass, and it completes an orbit every 524 days. That minimum mass is larger than Earth's and roughly 1.67 times Jupiter's mass.
