HD 104985, also named Tonatiuh, is a helium-fusing yellow giant star located 97 parsecs (317 lys) from the Sun[1] in the constellation of Camelopardalis. An extrasolar planet (designated HD 104985 b, later named Meztli) is believed to orbit the star.
HD 104985 is the star's entry in the Henry Draper Catalogue. Following its discovery in 2003[2] the planet was designated HD 104985 b. In July 2014 the International Astronomical Union launched a process for giving proper names to certain exoplanets and their host stars.[3] The process involved public nomination and voting for the new names.[4] In December 2015, the IAU announced the winning names were Tonatiuh for this star and Meztli for its planet.[5]
The winning names were those submitted by the Sociedad Astronomica Urania of Morelos, Mexico. 'Tonatiuh' was the Aztec god of the Sun; 'Meztli' was the Aztec goddess of the Moon.[6]
