1 Riesen, Peter eps Eri is a young planetary system hosting a complex multibelt debris disk. There is also one confirmed non-transiting planet: b (≈ 0.66 Jupiter masses, P ≈ 2671 d), detected by high-precision radial velocity measurements, absolute astrometry from Hipparcos and Gaia, and constrained with Keck/NIRC2 Ms-band vortex coronagraphy (2021AJ....162..181L).
