HD 114762 b is an extrasolar planet approximately 132 light years away in the constellation of Coma Berenices. This is an unseen companion to HD 114762, discovered in 1989 by David Latham and others. [cite journal | author=Latham, David W. et al | authorlink= | title=The unseen companion of HD114762 - A probable brown dwarf | journal=Nature (journal) | year=1989 | volume=339 | pages=38–40 | url=http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v339/n6219/abs/339038a0.html| doi=10.1038/339038a0] As of 2006, insufficient confirmed measurements exist to determine whether it is a high mass gas giant, with its lowest possible mass being 11 times the mass of Jupiter, brown dwarf, or a red dwarf with its highest mass around 145 times.
