HD 100777 is a single[6] star with a planetary companion in the equatorial constellation of Leo.[7] With an apparent visual magnitude of 8.42 it is too faint to be viewed with the naked eye, although the absolute magnitude of 4.81 indicates it could be seen if it were just 33 ly (10 pc) away. The distance to the star is approximately 162 light years based on parallax measurements.

The International Astronomical Union held the NameExoWorlds campaign in 2019. Nepal named the star Sagarmatha ("similar to Nepali name of the Mt. Everest")[attribution needed] and the exoplanet revolving it was named as Laligurans, the Nepali name of the flower Rhododendron.[8]

This is an ordinary G-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of G8V.[3] It has a similar mass, size, and luminosity to the Sun. The star is roughly five[4] billion years old with an inactive chromosphere[7] and is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 1.7 km/s.[4] A 2015 survey ruled out the existence of any additional stellar companions at projected distances from 18 to 369 astronomical units.[6]
