HD 34445 is a Sun-like G-type star (about 1.07 solar masses, 5,836 K, 1.38 solar radii), 46.1 light-years from Earth. The system hosts 6 confirmed planets on orbits ranging from 49.2 days to 15.6 years. With 6 confirmed worlds, HD 34445 is a densely packed system whose resonances, spacing, and formation history are active research topics. Mutual gravitational tugs between the planets can slowly reshape their orbits, preserving clues to the system's assembly. HD 34445 e orbits well inside Earth's distance from the Sun. Its low mass makes HD 34445 e a Neptune- or super-Earth-class world rather than a gas giant.
