HD 32963 is a G-type main sequence star located 124 light years away from Earth[1] in the constellation of Taurus. It has a mass of 0.94 solar masses. It's 4.99 billion years old.[2] It has one exoplanet orbiting it which was discovered using radial velocity. The exoplanet that has been named HD 32963b is a Jupiter analogue due to its similar characteristics to the planet Jupiter such as orbit and size.[3]
Exoplanet
[edit]
It has one currently discovered exoplanet orbiting it named HD 32963b. the planet orbits the star at a distance of 3.41 AU with an eccentricity of 0.07. It takes 2372 days to orbit the parent star. Its has a mass of 0.7 Jupiter masses. The similar orbit and size of HD 32963b is similar to the planet Jupiter. This makes its a Jupiter analogue planet.[2][3]
