HD 129445

HD 129445 is a G-type star found in the Circinus constellation located 219 light-years (67 parsecs) away from the Sun based on parallax. It is invisible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 8.80. The star was observed by the Magellan Planet Search Program due to its absolute visual magnitude and high metallicity. The Magellan program conducted 17 doppler velocity measurements, which spans a full orbital period. The results led the program to detect a planet dubbed HD 129445 b. In 2023, the inclination and true mass of HD 129445 b were determined via astrometry.
