The extrasolar planet, designated as HD 179949 b, was the first discovery by the Anglo-Australian Planet Search at the Anglo-Australian Observatory. The planet is a so-called "hot Jupiter", a Jupiter-mass planet orbiting very close to its parent star. In this case, orbital distance is almost tenth that of Mercury from the Sun. One orbital revolution lasts only about 3 days.

Its magnetic field induces a bright spot on its star at 30 degrees latitude, which rotates at 87 degrees inclination. If the planet orbited at 83-97 degrees, then its transit would be visible from Earth. The angle of inclination is therefore 83 degrees or less, but not much less; and its mass is constrained to not much more than 0.923±0.077. The planet is not tidally locked to the star.

Shkolnik and G. A. H. Walker]

Assuming the planet is perfectly grey with no greenhouse or tidal effects, and a Bond albedo of 0.1, the temperature would be 1533 K. This is, like Tau Boötis b, hotter than the predicted temperature of HD 209458 b (1392K), and close to that of HD 149026 b, before they were measured.

No absorptive cloud deck has been detected, and so HD 179949 b lacks a stratosphere. [cite journal | journal=Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society| month=3 Oct |year=2008 | title=HD 179949b: a close orbiting extrasolar giant planet with a stratosphere?| author=J. R. Barnes "et al." |doi=10.1111/j.1365-2966.2008.13831.x |]

HD 179949 b is a candidate for "near-infrared characterisation.... with the VLTI Spectro-Imager". [cite arXiv | title=Prospects for near-infrared characterisation of hot Jupiters with the VLTI Spectro-Imager (VSI) |author=Renard, S. "et al."|year=2008| eprint=0807.3014v1 |class=astro-ph]

HD 179949 b's parent star is HD 179949.
