HD 108874 b is a gas giant announced in 2003.[3] The orbit lies in the star's habitable zone.[4] It is expected that any moons orbiting this planet are enriched in carbon, and are thus quite different from the silicate-rich bodies in the Solar System.[5] The planet is possibly in a 4 : 1 orbital resonance with HD 108874 c.[6]
