HD 32518
HD 32518 is a 6th magnitude K-type giant star located 399.7 light years away in the constellation of Camelopardalis. It is 1.13 times more massive, 10.22 times larger, and 41.2 times more luminous than the Sun. However, it has a lower amount of metals than our Sun and the age is older. In August 2009, it was found that this giant star has a giant planet.
For the 100th anniversary of the IAU HD 32518 and the planet HD 32518b were selected NameExoWorlds campaigns for Germany. The approved name of the star HD 32518 is Mago, named after the Mago National Park in Ethiopia noted for its giraffes. The name was suggested by pupils of a physics course at the Max-Born-Gynasium in Neckargemünd.
