HD 179949 is a 6th magnitude star in the constellation of Sagittarius. It is a yellow-white dwarf (spectral class F8 V), a type of star hotter and more luminous than the Sun.

Oct 24, 2024 · HD 179949 b is a gas giant exoplanet that orbits a F-type star. Its mass is 0.916 Jupiters, it takes 3.1 days to complete one orbit of its star, and is 0.0443 AU from its star. Its discovery was announced in 2000.

Yellow-White star HD 179949 is located 90 light years away from the Sun. It is a single star of spectral class F8V C, that has 118 % of solar mass. There is at least one exoplanet in this system.

HD 179949 b, formally named Mastika, is an extrasolar planet discovered by the Anglo-Australian Planet Search at the Anglo-Australian Observatory, which orbits the star HD 179949. The planet is a so-called "hot Jupiter", a Jupiter-mass planet orbiting very close to its parent star.

Oct 15, 2008 · We have carried out a search for the 2.14-μm spectroscopic signature of the close orbiting extrasolar giant planet, HD 179949b. High-cadence time-series spectra were obtained with the Cryogenic high-resolution InfraRed Échelle Spectrograph at Very Large Telescope, Unit 1 on two closely separated nights.

Exoplanet HD 179949 b orbits star HD 179949 that lies 90 light years away from the Sun. It weighs about 292.5 Earth masses and orbits its star much closer than Earth orbits Sun.

Abstract: We have carried out a search for the 2.14-μm spectroscopic signature of the close orbiting extrasolar giant planet, HD 179949b. High-cadence time-series spectra were obtained with the Cryogenic high-resolution InfraRed Échelle Spectrograph at Very Large Telescope, Unit 1 on two closely separated nights.

In this paper we present spectropolarimetric observations of HD 179949 during two observing campaigns (2009 September and 2007 June). We detect a weak large-scale magnetic field of a few gauss at the surface of the star. The field configuration …
