HD 96167 is a Sun-like G-type star (about 1.27 solar masses, 5,733 K, 1.94 solar radii), 85.3 light-years from Earth. HD 96167 b is a 0.72-Jupiter-mass companion, with an orbital period of 1.36 years, at 1.332 AU from its star, on an eccentric orbit (e ≈ 0.69), discovered in 2009 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.
