HD 26161 and Its Planet

HD 26161 is a star 133 light-years from Earth. It has 1.12 solar masses, 1.44 solar radii, and a temperature of 6030 K. Its radius estimate is larger than the Sun's, and its temperature is hotter than the Sun's. One planet has been found orbiting this host.

That planet, HD 26161 b, was discovered in 2021 using the radial velocity method, which measures the wobble a planet's gravity induces in its star's motion; repeated wobbles reveal the planet and its orbital period. HD 26161 b has a mass of 9050 Earth masses and an orbital period of 10900 days. Its mass estimate is larger than Earth's and roughly 28.5 times Jupiter's mass.
