HD 98649 is a

″·yr−1.[6]

The

Planetary system

From 1998 to 2012, the star was under observance from the

apoastron, or 250 milliarcseconds of separation as viewed from Earth.[2]

Using astrometry from Gaia, astronomers were able to deduce the true mass of HD 98649 b as 9.7 MJ, somewhat higher than its minimum mass deduced from radial velocity measurements.[4][7]
