Oph J1622-2405 B - Treated as planet

http://exoplanet.eu/star.php?st=Oph+11

But revised mass (Luhman et al. 2007) should be 19 Jupiter masses (a planetary outlier by the way).

Nice before-Easter gift

Looks like the quoted mass for the primary has dropped a zero.

Should be 0.0162 solar masses.

Oops.
I think that we've definitely become a little lenient on the lower-bound for brown dwarfs. Has some major part of planetary formation theory changed, or has the only thing that's been changed a few scientist's opinions?

What do you mean? The error margin allows for Oph J1622-2405 b to be 9 M_J, which places it in the (almost arbitrary) < 13 M_J criteria we've been using for exoplanets.

Criteria for inclusion in the catalog

Quote :

An additional difficulty comes from the uncertainty in the mass value (for instance an object with a mass 19 +/- 3 MJup could have a true mass value < 13 MJup with a 2 sigma statistical deviation (= 12% probability). We thus finally include planets with masses < 20 Jup up to 2 sigma

Next to come is FU Tauri B then (=15 Mj)

Maybe HN Peg instead? As well as Ross 458.

Yes, also.

Why not 11 Comae b too?

Is it just me or is Ross 458 listed in both the confirmed and unconfirmed sections?

Once as Ross 458, once as Ross 458 (AB).

The EPE also has WASP-51 and HAT-P-30 as separate entries, as well.

To add to the fun, HAT-P-30b is in the transiting planets list, WASP-51b isn't...

The Ross 458 paper.
