HD 45652 [SEP] constellation
HD 45652
HD 45652 is a G8-K0 star located in the constellation Monoceros. It is approximately 114 light years (35 parsecs) from Earth with apparent magnitude 8.13.
In May 2008, the discovery of an extrasolar planet, HD 45652 b, orbiting the star was announced. The planet was detected by the radial velocity method, using observations made from 2005 to 2007.
HD 45652 b
HD 45652 b is a gas giant extrasolar planet orbiting at only 0.23 AU from the star HD 45652, with an orbital period of 44 days. It has mass at least half that of Jupiter. As it was detected using the radial velocity method, its true mass is dependent on the inclination of its orbit; if it is low, then the true mass will be larger. Also, its radius is not known. This planet was discovered by measurements taken by the ELODIE spectrograph from 2005 and 2006
