Tau Boötis b is an exoplanet categorized as a hot Jupiter, orbiting the F-type star Tau Boötis. Discovered in 1996 using the radial velocity method, it was one of the earliest exoplanets found around a sun-like star. The planet is tidally locked to its host star and was among the first exoplanets to...

Upsilon Andromedae b is a hot Jupiter exoplanet discovered in 1996 orbiting the F-type main-sequence star Upsilon Andromedae A, located approximately 44 light-years from Earth. It was the first planet detected in this system, which subsequently became the first confirmed multi-planet system discover...

Upsilon Andromedae c is a giant exoplanet orbiting the F-type star Upsilon Andromedae. Announced in 1999 from radial-velocity observations, it completes an orbit in roughly 241 days and is one of several giant planets known in the system. Those discoveries established Upsilon Andromedae as an early...

Upsilon Andromedae d is a gas-giant exoplanet in the multi-planet Upsilon Andromedae system, orbiting an F-type star about 44 light-years away. Its minimum mass is several times that of Jupiter, and its orbit takes roughly three and a half years, placing it well beyond the system’s inner planets. Th...

HAT-P-2b is a confirmed gas-giant exoplanet that crosses the disk of its host star, HAT-P-2, an F-type star. It has a mass of about nine Jupiters, completes an orbit in roughly 5.6 days, and follows an unusually eccentric path with an eccentricity near 0.52. The planet was identified by the HATNet t...

AF Leporis b is a confirmed young gas-giant exoplanet orbiting the nearby F-type star AF Leporis. It was reported in 2023 from a combination of astrometric measurements and direct images obtained with ground-based instruments, rather than from a transit. The planet is several times as massive as Jup...

HD 114762 b is a long-period companion detected from radial-velocity measurements of the star HD 114762 and reported by Latham and colleagues in 1989. The signal implies a minimum mass of about 11 Jupiter masses, but radial velocity alone does not determine the orbital inclination, so its true mass...

HR 2562 b is a directly imaged substellar companion to the young F-type star HR 2562. It lies at a projected separation of about 20 astronomical units and has a poorly constrained mass, with published estimates spanning roughly 13 to 30 Jupiter masses. The system contains a debris disk, and the comp...

The fourth planet in the Upsilon Andromedae system, discovered in 2010, a massive giant whose orbit is highly inclined relative to planet d's orbital plane.

HD 86264 b is a confirmed exoplanet orbiting the star HD 86264, an F-type subgiant. It is a massive gas giant with an estimated mass of about seven times that of Jupiter and follows a moderately eccentric orbit. Astronomers detected it through the radial-velocity method, which measures the small mov...
