HD 137058

HD 137058 is a G-type main-sequence star located approximately 109 light-years away in the constellation Libra. The star is similar to our Sun in terms of spectral type and mass, but it is slightly older and more metal-rich.

HD 137058 is of interest to astronomers primarily because it hosts a confirmed extrasolar planet, HD 137058 b. This planet is a gas giant, sometimes referred to as a "hot Jupiter" because of its relatively large size and close proximity to its host star, resulting in a short orbital period.

The star is not visible to the naked eye, requiring the use of telescopes to observe it. Its coordinates are approximately Right Ascension 15h 25m 32s and Declination -11° 33' 43".

Further research on HD 137058 and its planet continues to provide valuable insights into planetary formation and the characteristics of exoplanetary systems.
