Find mass of star..

In 2004 astronomers reported the discovery of a large Jupiter-sized planet orbiting very close to the
star HD 179949 (hence the term "hot Jupiter"). The orbit was just 19 the distance of Mercury from our
sun, and it takes the planet only 3.09 days to make one orbit (assumed to be circular).
What is the mass of the star in kilograms?
