HD 24085 is a Sun-like G-type star (about 1.22 solar masses, 6,034 K), 54.9 light-years from Earth. HD 24085 b is a 11.8-Earth-mass planet, with an orbital period of 2.0 days, at 0.034 AU from its star, on an eccentric orbit (e ≈ 0.22), discovered in 2019 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.
