HD 30177
HD 30177 is an 8th magnitude star located approximately 182 light-years (56 parsecs) away in the constellation Dorado. The star is a yellow dwarf, a type of yellow star that fuses hydrogen in its core. Since if this star is a late G-type, it is cooler and less massive than the Sun, but larger in radius. It is 1.8 times older than the Sun. This star system contains two known extrasolar planets.

The Anglo-Australian Planet Search team announced the discovery of HD 30177 b, which has a minimum mass 8 times that of Jupiter, on June 13, 2002. The scientific paper describing the discovery was published in The Astrophysical Journal in 2003.[5][6] A second massive gas giant planet was later discovered in an approximately 32 year orbit.[7] In 2022, the inclination and true mass of both planets were measured via astrometry.[8]
