[edit]This article is riddled with errors.
The planet was first announced in Wright et al. 2007. That is its only appearance in the literature. In that work, its orbit is described as incomplete and its mass uncertain. It was not "discovered" in 2006 then "confirmed" in 2007 -- there was only one paper.
According to Wright et al. 2007:
The possible orbital distances are 5-23 AU, not 9AU as stated in the article.
The orbit may or may not be eccentric.
Furthermore:
The "estimate" of the planet's true mass and radius is speculative; even the minimum mass is unknown. No citation is given -- is this original research or just a guess? Either way it should be deleted.
The periastron distance is not stated in Wright et al. 2007 because it is not known. The discussion of disruption of HZ planets is guesswork at worst, original research at best.
The discussion about rings and moons is pure fantasy -- the likelihood of either can be based on nothing but comparison with Jupiter and Saturn.
The discussion about the planet's appearance is speculative, and has no citation.
The reference to Wright et al. 2007 supports almost nothing written in the article.
I'm willing to go through and clean this article up, but since that would essentially mean re-writing the whole thing I'll let the authors defend their work first. Enfolder 22:14, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
