This planet has a minimum mass 4.8 times that of Jupiter; the true mass was initially unknown since the inclination of the orbit was unknown.
This planet orbits at about 2.2 astronomical units, taking 2.73 years to revolve around the star.
[3] In 2023, the inclination and true mass of HD 16175 b were determined via astrometry.
The name was selected in the NameExoWorlds campaign by Ethiopia, during the 100th anniversary of the IAU.
[4][5] The discovery was made using radial velocity measurements taken between November 2004 and March 2009 with the Coudé Auxiliary and C. Donald Shane telescopes at Lick Observatory.
