HD 166724 is a K-class dwarf star.
Planetary system
From 1998 to 2012, the star was under observance from "the CORALIE echelle spectrograph at La Silla Observatory".
In 2012, a long-period, wide-orbiting planet was deduced by radial velocity. This was published in November.
The discoverers noted that HD 166724 b is among "the three most eccentric planets with a period larger than 5 years" alongside HD 98649 b and HD 219077 b; but unlike them, too dim as a candidate for direct imaging with current technology. The reason for this eccentricity is unknown.[2]
