HD 38529 b is an extrasolar planet approximately 138 light years away in the constellation of Orion. This planet was discovered in 2000. Because of its mass it is likely a gas giant.^[1]

Notes

1. Parameters from the 2-companion solution (table 12). Including the unconfirmed third companion yields slightly different parameters.
