The planet was discovered by using Doppler spectroscopy by looking for shifts in the spectrum of the star. In Australia, Jones et al. found this planet in 2002 by using the telescope in Anglo-Australian Observatory.[1] In 2023, the inclination and true mass of HD 196050 b were determined via astrometry.[2]
