star located inUrsa Major constellation 289light year s away from Earth. It has highermetallicity by 25% and very similar stellar age of 4.6 billion years. It has mass 23% greater than the Sun. It is invisible to the naked eye but it can be visible usingbinocular s or atelescope . If this star is located 10parsec s or 33light year s away, it would be easily visible to the unaided eye.HD 118203 b

discovery_status=Published HD 118203 b is ajovian planet that takes only 6.13 days or 147 hours to orbit the parent star at a distance of 0.07astronomical unit s. It hasminimum mass of 2.14 times that ofJupiter but thetrue mass is not known since inclination is not known. Thishot Jupiter is unusual since it has relatively high eccentricity of 0.31.HD 118203 b was discovered in 2005 in
France by Da Silva who useddoppler spectroscopy to look for shifts in the star’s spectrum caused by the planet’sgravity as the planet orbits the star.References
