HD 40307 g - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

"HD 40307 g is an extrasolar planet orbiting in the habitable zone of star HD 40307. It is located 42 light-years away in the direction of the southern constellation Pictor. The planet was discovered by the radial velocity method, using the European Southern Obervatory's HARPS apparatus.[5][6][7] "The longer orbit of the new planet means that its climate and atmosphere may be just right to support life," according to co-author Hugh Jones, of the University of Hertfordshire in England.[6] The discovery was made by a team of astronomers led by Mikko Tuomi at the University of Hertfordshire and Guillem Anglada-Escude of the University of Goettingen.[7]"
