HD 43197 b is an extrasolar planet which orbits the G-type main sequence or subgiant star HD 43197, located approximately 204 light years away in the constellation Canis Major. This planet has a minimum mass 55% that of Jupiter and takes 0.85 years to orbit the star at a semimajor axis of 0.882 AU.[2] Its has a high eccentricity of 0.74, but its inclination is not known. This planet was detected by 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 |♃|J}}}}}}.[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]
