HD 150706 and Its Wide-Orbiting Planet
HD 150706 is a G-type main-sequence star 92.2 light-years away. Its spectral type, G0 V, places it in the same broad temperature class as the Sun. The star is estimated to be 3 billion years old, with a mass of 1.17 solar masses, a radius of 0.96 solar radii, and a temperature of 5960 K. Its reported mass estimate is larger than the Sun's, while its reported radius estimate is smaller and its reported temperature is hotter.
One planet is known to orbit this star. HD 150706 b was discovered in 2012 using 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 861 Earth masses, a lower bound on its true mass that is larger than Earth's and roughly 2.71 times Jupiter's mass. HD 150706 b completes one orbit in 5890 days.
