HD 208487 is a Sun-like G-type star (about 1.15 solar masses, 6,134 K, 1.16 solar radii), 45.1 light-years from Earth. HD 208487 b is a 0.46-Jupiter-mass companion, with an orbital period of 129 days, at 0.530 AU from its star, on an eccentric orbit (e ≈ 0.37), discovered in 2004 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.
