HD 143361
HD 143361 is a star in the southern constellation Norma. With an apparent visual magnitude of 9.20,[2] this star is too dim to be seen with the naked eye. It is close enough to the Earth that its distance can be determined using parallax measurements, yielding a value of roughly 224 light-years (69 parsecs).[1]

Planetary system
In October 2008 the planet HD 143361 b was reported to be orbiting this star. This object was detected using the radial velocity method during an astronomical survey conducted by the Magellan Planet Search Program using the MIKE echelle spectrograph on the 6.5-m Magellan II (Clay) telescope.[6]
