HD 23127

'HD 23127' is a star in the Reticulum constellation. It is a hydrogen-fusing sun-like with spectrum G2V. At the distance of 290.7 ly, it is not visible to the naked eye, but is visible with a good pair of binoculars.
The star is more massive than our Sun at 1.13 solar mass. The star is also more metal-rich, meaning it contains more metals [Fe/H]. The age of the star is older than the local star at 7 billion years old, more than half-way through its life.
On Friday, February 9, 2007, a Jovian planet was found orbiting the solar-type star.

At periastron, the distance is 1.34 AU, putting in its outer edge of the habitable zone, and at apastron, the distance is 2.79 AU.
The mass is at least 1.5 times Jupiter. Only the minimum mass is known because the inclination is not known.
