高精度視線速度系外惑星探査装置
On August 17, 2011, researchers released a study of the planet. The study makes assumptions about the planet actually having the minimum mass allowed by existing observations, not being tidally locked, and having one specific composition out of the wide parameter set available to conclude that HD 85512 b is the most habitable exoplanet discovered up to that point and one of the most stable exoplanets discovered by the High Accuracy Radial Velocity Planet Searcher.
