HD 102272
HD 102272 is a K-type giant star approximately 800 light-years away in the constellation of Leo. As of 2008, two extrasolar planets are known to orbit the star.[5]

Planetary system
In June 2008, the discovery of two extrasolar planets orbiting the star was announced.[5] The planets were discovered using the radial velocity method and the Hobby-Eberly Telescope. The radial velocity data clearly shows the presence of the inner planet (HD 102272 b.) Although there is evidence for another planet, there is insufficient data to unambiguously determine its orbit.[3]
