HD 10180 is a solar-type star. A research team led by Christophe Lovis of the University of Geneva discovered that the star has at least five planets, and possibly as many as seven.[7][8] It is 127 light-years away, in the southern constellation of Hydrus.[9] The mass and metallicity of HD 10180 are 6% and 20% greater than the values of the Sun.

The system contains five planets with minimum masses from 12 to 25 times Earth's (comparable to the mass of the ice giant planets Uranus and Neptune in our Solar System) at orbital radii of 0.06, 0.13, 0.27, 0.49 and 1.42 AU. The false detection probabilities for these five planets are all much less than 0.1%.[8] In addition, there is a possible Earth-sized planet located at 0.02 AU (minimum mass 1.4 times Earth's; spurious detection probability 1.4%), and a possible Saturn-sized giant planet at 3.4 AU (minimum mass 65 times Earth's; spurious detection probability 0.6%). This represents the largest number of planets detected in an extrasolar planetary system (the previous record holder, the 55 Cancri system, has five).[8]

HD 10180's five Neptune-sized planets have orbital radii ranging from one sixth that of Mercury to just short of that of Mars. The innermost planet, while Earth-like in diameter, has an orbital radius about one-seventeenth that of Mercury, and would be correspondingly hotter.[10] The outermost planet revolves at a distance from HD 10180 comparable to the distance of the outer part of the main asteroid belt from our Sun.

The planetary system contains no planets in mean motion resonances, although it has a number of near resonances.[8] The approximate ratios of periods of adjacent orbits are (proceeding outward): 1:5, 1:3, 1:3, 2:5, 1:5, 3:11.

The planets were detected using the HARPS spectrograph, in conjunction with the ESO's 3.6 m telescope at La Silla Observatory in Chile, using Doppler spectroscopy. Since the inclination of the planets' orbits is unknown, only minimum planetary masses can presently be obtained. Dynamical simulations suggest that the system cannot be stable if the true masses of the planets exceed the minimum masses by a factor of greater than three (corresponding to an inclination of less than 20°, where 90° is edge-on).[8]
