Iota Horologii b (ι Hor b / ι Horologii b), often catalogued HR 810 b, is an extrasolar planet approximately 56.5 light-years away in the constellation of Horologium (the Pendulum Clock). Iota Horologii b has a minimum mass 2.26 times that of Jupiter; astrometric measurements from Gaia suggest it has a true mass of 6.2 MJ.[2]

Detection and discovery
The discovery of Iota Horologii b was the result of a long-term survey of forty Solar analog stars that was begun in November 1992. The planet represents the first discovery of an extrasolar planet with a European Southern Observatory instrument, with the data found at the La Silla Observatory in Chile.
The Keplerian signal found the planet to have an orbital period of 320.1 days, indicative of an orbiting planet with minimum mass of 2.26 Jupiter masses.[3] Iota Horologii b was announced in the summer of 1999 as the first planet found by a team of planet hunters led by Martin Kürster.[1]
The measurements of Iota Horologii show that the planet orbits the star approximately every 320 days. From this period, the known mass of the central star (1.25 solar masses)[4] and the amplitude of the velocity changes, a mass of at least 2.26 times that of planet Jupiter is deduced for the planet.
It revolves around the host star in a somewhat elongated orbit. If it were located in the Solar System, this orbit would stretch from just outside the orbit of Venus (at 117 million km or 0.78 astronomical units [AU] from the Sun) to just outside the orbit of the Earth (at 162 million km or 1.08 AU). Because the planet is at least 720 times more massive than the Earth, it is predicted that Iota Horologii b is more similar to planet Jupiter.
Preliminary astrometric analysis of Iota Horologii b suggested that planet b may have as much as 24 times the mass of Jupiter with an inclination of 5.5 degrees from Earth's line of sight. With these calculations, Iota Horologii b may actually be an extremely dim brown dwarf and a substellar companion of Iota Horologii. However, these measurements were later proved useful only for upper limits of inclination.[5] An astrometric measurement of the planet's inclination and true mass was published in 2022 as part of Gaia DR3, revealing it to have a planetary mass of 6.2 MJ.[2]

Iota Horologii b es un planeta extrasolar que orbita la estrella Iota Horologii de la constelación de Horologium. Tiene un periodo orbital de 311 días y una masa mínima de 1.94 veces la de Júpiter, aunque otras mediciones astronómicas indican que el objeto puede tener en realidad 24 veces la masa de Júpiter, con lo que dejaría de ser un planeta, para pasar a ser una enana marrón. Su descubrimiento es el fruto de una prolongada investigación que comenzó en noviembre de 1992. Es el primer planeta encontrado que posee una insolación parecida a la de Venus.[ru] Йота Часов b
Йота Часов b, также известная как HR 810 b — экзопланета, обнаруженная у подобной Солнцу звезды Йота Часов, находящейся на расстоянии примерно 50 световых лет от Солнечной системы в созвездии Часы. Масса этой планеты составляет как минимум 1,94 массы Юпитера, однако предварительные астрометрические исследования говорят о том, что масса объекта может достигать 24 масс Юпитера, что сделало бы его коричневым карликом.Другой контент может иметь иную лицензию.
