HD 129445 is a G type star found in the Circinus constellation located approximately 219 light-years away from the Earth. The star has been under the Magellan Planet Search Program observation due to its absolute visual magnitude and 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.[1][2][3]
