Star mass
Mass of the star HD 114762 A is 1.046 solar masses.

The mass of a star is the total amount of matter it contains. It is one of the most important properties of a star, as it determines almost everything about how the star lives, changes, and dies. In astronomy, star mass is usually measured in solar masses (M☉) — where 1 solar mass is equal to the mass of our Sun... icon More about Star mass in StellarGuide

Star size
Radius of the star HD 114762 A is 1.24 solar radii.

The size of a star refers to its radius — the distance from its center to its surface. Star size is usually measured in solar radii (R☉), where 1 solar radius equals approximately 696,000 kilometers. Depending on their type and life stage, stars can be much smaller or larger than the Sun... icon More about Star size in StellarGuide

Star luminosity
Luminosity is the total amount of energy a star gives off every second. Think of it as the star’s true brightness — not just how bright it looks from Earth. This is important because some stars may appear dim simply because they are far away, not because they’re actually faint... icon More about Star luminosity in StellarGuide

TOI-4129 b is a low-density world at the inner edge of the Neptune ridge, with an atmosphere that could be studied by future space telescopes. Elsewhere, Epsilon Indi Ab’s chemistry points to ingredients formed in extreme cold, Barnard’s Star may preserve clues to a lost planet, and JWST observations refine views of HIP 65426 b and the planet search around Altair.
