Epsilon Tauri b , formally named Amateru /æməˈtɛruː/, is a super-Jupiter exoplanet orbiting the K-type giant star Epsilon Tauri approximately 155 light-years away from the Earth in the constellation of Taurus. It orbits the star further out than Earth orbits the Sun. It has moderate eccentricity.
The planet orbits one of the four giant stars in the Hyades cluster that is 2.7 times the mass of our Sun, making it the most massive planet-harboring star. This provides evidence that it was an A-type star when it was on the main-sequence.
