HD 44219 is a Sun-like G-type star (about 1.20 solar masses, 5,752 K), 52.9 light-years from Earth. HD 44219 b is a 0.58-Jupiter-mass companion, with an orbital period of 1.29 years, at 1.260 AU from its star, on an eccentric orbit (e ≈ 0.41), discovered in 2010 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.
