متن کاملThe Jupiter Twin HD 154345b
We announce the discovery of a twin of Jupiter orbiting the slightly metalpoor ([Fe/H] = −0.1) nearby (d= 18 pc) G8 dwarf HD 154345. This planet has a minimum mass of 0.95 MJup and a 9.2 year, circular orbit with radius 4.2 AU. There is currently little or no evidence for other planets in the system, but smaller or exterior planets cannot yet be ruled out. We also detect a ∼ 9-year activity cyc...
