HIP 70849 b is an extrasolar planet which orbits the K-typemain sequencestarHIP 70849, located approximately 79 light years away in the constellationLupus. This planet was detected by HARPS and announced on October 19, 2009, together with 31 other planets.[2] Its parameters were initially poorly constrained, estimated to have a minimum mass of 3-15MJ and take anywhere from 5-90 years to orbit the star at a semimajor axis of 4.5-36 AU, with the eccentricity and inclination being unknown.[1] This was significantly updated in a December 2022 paper, which found much better constrained parameters including a high eccentricity,[4] and in a January 2023 paper which determined the planet's inclination and true mass via astrometry.[3]
