description HD 95338 b Overview
HD 95338 b is a giant exoplanet detected through radial-velocity observations of the star HD 95338. The host is a metal-rich star generally classified near the boundary between the G and K spectral types, and the planet has a long orbital period. It is an example of a massive planetary companion identified by measuring the small, repeated changes in its host star's line-of-sight motion.
help HD 95338 b FAQ
What is HD 95338 b?
HD 95338 b is a giant exoplanet orbiting the star HD 95338. Astronomers detected it through radial-velocity observations rather than by watching a transit.
How was HD 95338 b discovered?
The planet was found by measuring Doppler shifts in the light from HD 95338. Those shifts reveal the star's motion around the system's shared center of mass.
What kind of star does HD 95338 b orbit?
HD 95338 is a metal-rich star generally classified near the boundary between the G and K spectral types. The planet follows a long-period orbit around this host.
Why is HD 95338 b scientifically interesting?
Its long orbital period places it among planets found through extended stellar monitoring. It is also an example of a massive planet discovered around a metal-rich star near the G-K boundary.
