    HD 175167 b is an extra-solar planet orbiting HD 175167, which is a G type star within the Pavo constellation around 219 light years away from the Earth. The planet was discovered by the Magellan Planet Search Program as the astronomical object fit the Keplerian orbital model. During the observations 13 doppler velocity tests were conducted, which showed this object's mass was at least 7.8 Jovian-masses and its orbit has a high eccentricity. The exoplanet takes 3.53 years to complete a full stellar orbit. [2] [3] [4]

    An astrometric measurement of the planet's inclination and true mass was published in 2022 as part of Gaia DR3. [1]

    HD 28185 is a yellow dwarf star similar to the Sun located 128 light-years away from Earth in the constellation Eridanus. The designation HD 28185 refers to its entry in the Henry Draper catalogue. The star is known to possess one long-period extrasolar planet.

    HD 8673 is a binary star in the northern constellation of Andromeda. It has an apparent magnitude and absolute magnitude of 6.34 and 3.56 respectively. Based upon an annual parallax shift of 26.2 mas, the system is located around 124.5 light years away. The system is moving further from the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of +19 km/s. A sub-stellar companion was detected in 2005; it could either be an exoplanet or a brown dwarf.

    HD 162020 is a star in the southern constellation of Scorpius with a likely red dwarf companion. It has an apparent visual magnitude of 9.10, which is too faint to be visible to the naked eye. The distance to this system is 101 light years based on stellar parallax. It is drifting closer to the Sun with a radial velocity of −27 km/s, and is predicted to come to within ~18 light-years in 1.1 million years.

    HD 131664 is an 8th magnitude star in the southern constellation of Apus with an orbiting brown dwarf or stellar companion. Parallax measurements by the Gaia space observatory provide an estimated distance of 172.5 light years from the Earth. The system is moving further away with a baseline heliocentric radial velocity of +35 km/s.

    HD 48265 is the Henry Draper Catalogue designation for a star in the southern constellation Puppis. It has an apparent visual magnitude of 8.07, which makes it too faint to be seen with the naked eye. Based upon parallax measurements made during the Hipparcos mission, it is located at a distance of roughly 293 light-years from Earth.

    HD 143361 is a star in the southern constellation Norma. With an apparent visual magnitude of 9.20, this star is too dim to be seen with the naked eye. It is close enough to the Earth that its distance can be determined using parallax measurements, yielding a value of roughly 224 light-years.

    BD−17 63 is a low-mass K type star in the southern constellation Cetus. It is a 9th magnitude star at a distance of 113 light years from Earth.

    The Magellan Planet Search Program is a ground-based search for extrasolar planets that makes use of the radial velocity method. It began gathering data in December 2002 using the MIKE echelle spectrograph mounted on the 6.5m Magellan II "Clay" telescope located within the Las Campanas Observatory in Chile. In 2010, the program began using the newly commissioned Planet Finder Spectrograph (PFS), an instrument purpose-built for precise radial velocity measurement.

    HD 86226 is a G-type yellowish white star found in the constellation of Hydra.

    HD 129445 is a G type star found in the Circinus constellation located approximately 220 light-years away from the Sun based on parallax. It is invisible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 8.80. The star has been under the Magellan Planet Search Program observation due to its absolute visual magnitude and high metallicity. The Magellan program conducted 17 doppler velocity tests, which spans a full orbital period. The results led the program to detect a planet dubbed HD 129445 b whose readings was accurate to the Keplerian orbital model.

    HD 129445 b is an eccentric Jupiter gas giant exoplanet orbiting the star HD 129445 which was discovered by the Magellan Planet Search Program in 2010. Its mass is 1.6 times Jupiter's, and it takes 5 years to complete one orbit around HD 129445, a G-type star approximately 210 light years away.

    HD 152079 is a star in the constellation Ara and has one planet, discovered in 2010.

    HD 164604 is a single star in the southern constellation of Sagittarius constellation. It has the proper name Pincoya, as selected in the NameExoWorlds campaign by Chile, during the 100th anniversary of the IAU. Pincoya is a female water spirit from southern Chilean mythology who is said to bring drowned sailors to the Caleuche so that they can live in the afterlife. A 2015 survey ruled out the existence of any additional stellar companions at projected distances from 13 to 340 astronomical units. It is known to host a single super-Jupiter exoplanet.

    HD 164604 b is an extrasolar planet discovered in January 2010 in association with the Magellan Planet Search Program. It has a minimum mass 2.7 times the mass of Jupiter and an orbital period of 606.4 days. Its star is classified as a K2 V dwarf and is roughly 124 light-years away from Earth.

    HD 175167 is a star with an exoplanet companion in the southern constellation of Pavo. It is too faint to be visible with the naked eye at an apparent visual magnitude of 8.01. The system is located at a distance of 232 light years from the Sun based on parallax measurements, and it is drifting further away with a radial velocity of 5 km/s. It shows a high proper motion, traversing the celestial sphere at an angular rate of 0.190 arcsec yr−1.

    HD 86226 b is a gas giant exoplanet discovered by the Magellan Planet Search Program in 2010. It was confirmed in data collected by the CORALIE spectrograph on the Swiss 1.2-metre Leonhard Euler Telescope in 2012. It takes about 4.6 years to orbit its G-type star and was initially believed to have a minimal mass of 0.92 Jupiters. Discovery of the second planet in the system has led to the revised mass of HD 86226 b in 2020, now estimated to be 0.45+0.04
    −0.05
    MJ.

    HD 212771 b is an extrasolar planet orbiting the G-type star HD 212771 approximately 364 light years away in the constellation Aquarius.

    HD 181342 is a star in the constellation of Sagittarius. With an apparent magnitude of 7.55, it cannot be seen with the naked eye. Parallax measurements made by Gaia spacecraft put the star at a distance of 394 light-years away.

    HD 7449 is a binary star system about 126 light-years way. The primary star, HD 7449 A, is a main-sequence star belonging to the spectral class F9.5. It is younger than the Sun. The primary star is slightly depleted of heavy elements, having 80% of solar abundance.

    HD 212771 is a solitary star in the southern zodiac constellation Aquarius. It has an apparent magnitude of 7.60, making it readily visible with binoculars but not the naked eye. Parallax measurements place the object at a distance of 364 light years, and is currently receding with a radial velocity of 15 km/s.
