HD 88133 [SEP] constellation
HD 88133
HD 88133 is an 8th magnitude star in the constellation of Leo. It is classified as a yellow subgiant star (spectral type G5IV). It is slightly more massive than our Sun, cooler and more luminous. As a subgiant, it has left the main sequence and started to evolve towards red gianthood. Located at a distance of 240 light years from Earth it is not in our immediate neighbourhood and thus not visible to the unaided eye. With a small telescope it should be easily visible.

HD 88133 b is an extrasolar planet orbiting the star HD 88133. It is probably less massive than Jupiter and even Saturn. It orbits the star in a very tight orbit, completing one revolution around the star in every three and half days or so. Despite the relatively large radius of the star (about 2 times Solar), no transits have been detected.
