HD 100777 b

HD 100777 b, formally named Laligurans,[2] is an extrasolar planet located approximately 172 light-years away in the constellation of Leo, orbiting the star HD 100777. It has a minimum mass about 1.17 times greater than Jupiter and takes about 384 days to orbit its star. It has a semi-major axis of 1.03 AU and a moderately eccentric orbit around its star. The velocity of the orbit is 29.3 km/s. Dominique Naef discovered this planet in March 2007 by using HARPS spectrograph located in Chile.[1]
