55 Cancri b
55 Cancri b (abbreviated 55 Cnc b and occasionally referred to as 55 Cancri Ab in order to distinguish it from the star 55 Cancri B) is an extrasolar planet orbiting the Sun-like star 55 Cancri A every 14.65 days. It is the second planet in order of distance from its star, and is an example of a hot Jupiter, or possibly rather "warm Jupiter".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Astrophile: First puffy, 'warm Jupiter' spotted - space - 12 October 2012 )〕 Discovered in 1996 by Geoffrey Marcy and R. Paul Butler, 55 Cancri b was the fourth known extrasolar planet, excluding pulsar planets. The planet and its host star is one of the planetary systems selected by the International Astronomical Union as part of their public process for giving proper names to exoplanets and their host star (where no proper name already exists).〔(NameExoWorlds: An IAU Worldwide Contest to Name Exoplanets and their Host Stars ). IAU.org. 9 July 2014〕〔(NameExoWorlds ).〕 The process involves public nomination and voting for the new names, and the IAU plans to announce the new names in mid-November 2015.〔(NameExoWorlds ).〕 ==Discovery==
Like the majority of known extrasolar planets, 55 Cancri b was discovered by detecting variations in its star's radial velocity caused by the planet's gravity. By making sensitive measurements of the Doppler shift of the spectrum of 55 Cancri A, a 15-day periodicity was detected. The planet was announced in 1996, together with the planet of Tau Boötis and the innermost planet of Upsilon Andromedae. Even when this inner planet, with a mass at least 78% times that of Jupiter was accounted for, the star still showed a drift in its radial velocity. This eventually led to the discovery of the outer planet 55 Cancri d in 2002.
