HD 43197 b is an
HARPS
on October 19, 2009, together with 29 other planets.
In 2022, a second super-Jovian planet was discovered orbiting HD 43197 using a combination of radial velocity and astrometry. Assuming HD 43197 b shares the outer planet's orbital inclination, its true mass would be about 4 MJ.[1]
The planet HD 43197 b is named Equiano. The name was selected in the NameExoWorlds campaign by Nigeria, during the 100th anniversary of the IAU. Olaudah Equiano was a writer and abolitionist from Ihiala, Nigeria who fought injustice and for the elimination of the slave trade.[3][4]
