...Finally, we detect a candidate radial velocity signal with a period of 2.43 days and a semi-amplitude of 6 m/s. If caused by an orbiting companion, its minimum mass would be ~20 Earth masses; because of Vega's pole-on orientation, this would correspond to a Jovian planet if the orbit is aligned with the stellar spin. We discuss the prospects for confirmation of this candidate planet.

According to the paper it would be the second hottest known planet after KELT-9 Ab.

At long periods, we combine our radial velocities with direct imaging from the literature to produce detection limits for Vegan planets and brown dwarfs out to distances of 15 au.

Hence carnivorous planets and BDs are absolutely not allowed! *[silly] emphasis mine*

Seriously, that's an interesting find I hope to see confirmed very soon. I wonder whether similar systems are hiding at Sirius and Altair too.

Remember:
They aren't vegans unless they come from the planet Vega b. Otherwise, they're just sparkling vegetarians.
