HD 191760

HD 191760 is a G8V star located approximately 113 light-years away in the constellation Sagittarius. It is a main-sequence star, meaning it is currently fusing hydrogen into helium in its core. HD 191760 is similar in size and temperature to our Sun, although slightly cooler and less massive.

The star is notable for hosting a confirmed exoplanet, HD 191760 b, a hot Jupiter discovered in 2007 via the radial velocity method. HD 191760 b is a gas giant significantly more massive than Jupiter and orbits very close to its host star, resulting in a very short orbital period.

Observations of HD 191760 and its exoplanet continue to contribute to our understanding of planetary system formation and the characteristics of hot Jupiters. Its relatively bright apparent magnitude makes it a target for further study.
