description HD 37124 c Overview
HD 37124 c is a giant exoplanet orbiting HD 37124, a Sun-like star approximately 108 light-years from Earth. It was announced in 2005 as part of a three-planet system identified through radial-velocity measurements. The planet occupies an intermediate orbit within the system, between the inner planet HD 37124 b and the more distant HD 37124 d. Its existence is inferred from the gravitational influence of the planet on the host star, because the system was detected by measuring stellar motion rather than by direct imaging.
