Tiny wobbles of a bright star HD 73344 have revealed the mass of a nearby sub-Neptune exoplanet

Star system: HD 73344 | Distance from the Sun: 115 light years

Additionally, another signal hints at the presence of a previously undetected planet orbiting farther from the star.

HD 73344 is an F-type star approximately 115 light-years away. At roughly 20% larger than our Sun, it hosts a sub-Neptune exoplanet with a density similar to Saturns. The possible second planet has been detected with a minimum mass around one-third that of Jupiter
