HD 170469 b
HD 170469 b is a gas giant exoplanet located approximately 212 light-years away in the constellation Ophiuchus, orbiting the star HD 170469. This planet was discovered in April 2007. The star is 1.1 solar mass and the planet is at least 67% the mass of Jupiter, orbiting about half the distance of Jupiter from the Sun. The mass value is only minimum since the inclination is unknown.
The orbital distance is more than twice the distance from Earth to the Sun, although taking over three
HD 125612
HD 125612 is a yellow main sequence star located approximately 188 light years away in the constellation Virgo. It is rich in heavy elements and has three known planets in orbit around it. A red dwarf companion star was detected in 2009 at a projected separation of 4750 AU. The possibility of a much closer companion to the primary star was also suggested, though this will need more observation to better define.
