NGC 2682 Sand 978 and Its Planet

NGC 2682 Sand 978 is a star 2680 light-years away with a spectral type of K4 III and a mass of 1.37 solar masses, larger than the Sun's. Its temperature is 4200 K, cooler than the Sun's. One planet orbits this host.

That planet, NGC 2682 Sand 978 b, was discovered in 2017 by radial velocity, which measures the wobble a planet's gravity induces in its star's motion. Its minimum mass is 693 Earth masses, larger than Earth's and roughly 2.18 times Jupiter's mass, and its orbital period is 511 days.
