BD-17°63 b, formally named Finlay, is an exoplanet located approximately 112.5 light-years away in the constellation of Cetus, orbiting the 10th magnitude K-type main sequence star BD−17 63. This planet has a minimum mass of 5.1 MJ and orbits at a distance of 1.34 astronomical units from the star. The distance ranges from 0.62 AU to 2.06 AU, corresponding to the eccentricity of 0.54. One revolution takes about 656 days.[1]
This planet was discovered on October 26, 2008 by Moutou et al. using the HARPS spectrograph on ESO’s 3.6 meter telescope installed at La Silla Observatory in Atacama desert, Chile .
The planet BD-17 63 b is named Finlay. The name was selected in the NameExoWorlds campaign by Cuba, during the 100th anniversary of the IAU. Carlos Juan Finlay (1833–1915) was an epidemiologist recognized as a pioneer in the research of yellow fever.[3][4]
An astrometric measurement of the planet's inclination and true mass was published in 2022 as part of Gaia DR3,[5][6] with another astrometric orbital solution published in 2023.[2]
