The planetary companion to Gliese 176 was discovered with observations from the Hobby-Eberly Telescope, located at the McDonald Observatory in Texas.
Gliese 176 is a red dwarf in the constellation of Taurus. A planetary companion to Gliese 176 was announced in 2008. Radial velocity observations with the Hobby-Eberly Telescope (HET) showed a 10.24-day periodicity, which was interpreted as being caused by a planet.
