HD 114729

HD 114729 is a 7th magnitude star approximately 118 ly (36.1 pc) away in the constellation of Centaurus. Like our Sun (G2V), it is a yellow dwarf (spectral type G0V). It is about the same mass as the Sun, but twice as luminous. That indicates a much greater age, perhaps over 10 billion years. HD 114729 has a co-moving companion designated HD 114729 B, with the latter having 25.3% of the Sun's mass and a projected separation of 282±10 AU.[6]

Planetary system

In 2003 the California and Carnegie Planet Search team announced the discovery of a planet orbiting the star.[8] This planet orbits twice as far away from the star as Earth to the Sun and orbits very eccentrically. It has mass at least 95% (0.840) that of Jupiter and thus a minimum of 267 times the mass of Earth.
