HD 165185

HD 165185 is a G-type main-sequence star located approximately 119 light-years away in the constellation Sagittarius. This star is slightly more massive and luminous than our Sun, and is also older. HD 165185 is known to host at least one confirmed extrasolar planet.

Stellar Characteristics:

• Spectral Type: G5V
• Mass: Estimated to be slightly greater than the Sun's mass.
• Luminosity: Higher than the Sun's luminosity.
• Effective Temperature: Similar to, but potentially slightly cooler than, the Sun.
• Age: Estimated to be older than the Sun.
• Distance: Approximately 119 light-years from Earth.

Planetary System:

HD 165185 is known to host one confirmed exoplanet, designated HD 165185 b.

• HD 165185 b: This exoplanet is a gas giant with a mass significantly larger than Jupiter. It orbits its host star relatively close-in, resulting in a short orbital period.

Significance:

HD 165185 is of interest to astronomers due to the presence of its exoplanet, HD 165185 b. Studying the characteristics of both the star and its planet provides valuable insights into the formation and evolution of planetary systems, particularly those differing from our own solar system. Further observations and analyses of this system contribute to a broader understanding of the diversity of exoplanets and the conditions necessary for planetary habitability in the galaxy.
