Planet ini ditemukan dengan menggunakan metode kecepatan radial (spektroskopi Doppler), di mana pergeseran Doppler periodik dari garis-garis spektrum sebuah bintang menunjukkan sebuah objek yang mengorbit bintang tersebut. Dari metode ini, kecepatan radial bintang induk relatif terhadap Bumi adalah berbeda-beda dengan amplitudo sekitar 2 meter (6.6 kaki) per detik.<ref name="nature_paper">{{Cite journal|last=Anglada-Escudé|first=G.|last2=Amado|first2=P.
