HD 43197 b is an extrasolar planet which orbits the G-type main sequence or subgiant star HD 43197, located approximately 180 light years away in the constellation Canis Major. This planet has at least three-fifths the mass of Jupiter and takes 0.9 years to orbit the star at a semimajor axis of 0.868 AU.[2] However unlike most other known exoplanets, its eccentricity is not known, but it is typical that its inclination is not known. This planet was detected by HARPS on October 19, 2009, together with 29 other planets.
