HD 142022 Ab

Extrasolar planet in the constellation Octans

HD 142022 Ab is an exoplanet discovered by the radial velocity method by Eggenberger et al. in 2005, after finding that HD 142022 A is wobbling which indicated the presence of a massive planet, with a minimum mass 4.5 times Jupiter. It has a relatively wide separation between the planet and the star of nearly 3 AU, and takes 1928 days or 5.28 years to revolve. As is common for long-period planets, it has a relatively high eccentricity of 53±20%.[1] In 2023, the inclination and true mass of HD 142022 Ab were determined via astrometry.[2]
