HD 202206

HD 202206 is a star located in the constellation Capricornus. It is a relatively faint star, not easily visible to the naked eye. HD 202206 is a G-type main-sequence star, similar to our Sun, although it is somewhat older and more evolved.

The primary significance of HD 202206 lies in the fact that it is known to host at least one extrasolar planet, designated HD 202206 b. This planet is a gas giant, significantly more massive than Jupiter. It was discovered through the radial velocity method, which detects the wobble of a star caused by the gravitational pull of an orbiting planet.

The discovery of HD 202206 b has contributed to the understanding of planetary systems and the diversity of exoplanets beyond our solar system. Further studies of this system may provide insights into the formation and evolution of gas giants and their interactions with their host stars. Its precise distance and characteristics continue to be refined through ongoing astronomical observations.
