HD 129445 is a G type star found in the Circinus constellation located approximately 220 light-years away from the Sun based on parallax.[1] It is invisible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 8.80.[2] The star has been under the Magellan Planet Search Program observation due to its absolute visual magnitude and high metallicity. The Magellan program conducted 17 doppler velocity tests, which spans a full orbital period. The results led the program to detect a planet dubbed HD 129445 b whose readings was accurate to the Keplerian orbital model.[7][8][9]
