HD 121504 b
Extrasolar planet in the constellation Centaurus From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
HD 121504 b is an exoplanet that is likely to be slightly less massive than Jupiter. Although the radial velocity method that was used to detect the planet can only measure the minimum mass of the planet, it is very unlikely that its true mass would be much higher.[1]
