HD 187085 is a Sun-like F-type star (about 1.19 solar masses, 6,117 K, 1.27 solar radii), 45.9 light-years from Earth. HD 187085 b is a 0.84-Jupiter-mass companion, with an orbital period of 2.79 years, at 2.100 AU from its star, on an eccentric orbit (e ≈ 0.25), discovered in 2006 via radial velocity. The planet betrayed itself through the star's reflex motion — a technique that first revealed worlds around Sun-like stars in the 1990s and remains a workhorse of exoplanet discovery. The planet's marked eccentricity suggests past scattering events or perturbations from unseen companions.
