75 Ceti is a G-type giant with at least one planet.[3]
In Chinese, 天囷 (Tiān Qūn), meaning Circular Celestial Granary, refers to an asterism consisting of α Ceti, κ1 Ceti, λ Ceti, μ Ceti, ξ1 Ceti, ξ2 Ceti, ν Ceti, γ Ceti, δ Ceti, 75 Ceti, 70 Ceti, 63 Ceti and 66 Ceti. Consequently, 75 Ceti itself is known as the Tenth Star of Circular Celestial Granary.[4]
The planet's discoverers consider this planet b "typical" of gas giants.[3] Note that (like many recorded planets) b takes in much more insolation than does Jupiter and, indeed, Earth.[5]

There may be additional periodic factors in the data, corresponding to m sin i of around 0.4 MJ and 1 MJ, at distances of ∼0.9 AU and ∼4 AU. If these are confirmed, they are more irradiated than Earth as well.
