TOI-260 b

Hey there, thought I might ask something since you might know better than me. This paper from 2020 mentions TOI-260.01, a (then) candidate exoplanet orbiting TOI-260. From what I can see, it was never specified that it was a confirmed exoplanet, just a candidate. I also see that it was discovered this year, as listed in list of exoplanets discovered in 2024, under the name BD-10 47 b (second row in list), therefore being listed in both the 2020 and 2024 discovery lists. Seems to me that it was not definitely confirmed as an exoplanet until 2024. Would it be reasonable to remove the entry from 2020? What do you think? Procyon117 (talk) 15:16, 23 July 2024 (UTC)

It is probably better to remove its 2020 entry. These lists only include confirmed planets, since TOI-260 b was only confirmed in 2024, then it belong to the 2024 list. 21 Andromedae (talk) 15:25, 23 July 2024 (UTC)

Yeah that's what I thought. I'll remove it now, and also any others that I find that were just merely candidates at the time. Procyon117 (talk) 16:14, 23 July 2024 (UTC)

J1407b for DYK

Hi, since you're one of the few people who've edited the V1400 Cen/J1407b article besides me, I'd like to ask what you think about nominating the J1407b article for WP:Did you know? Do you think are some technical bits in the article that need clearing up, like what you did earlier? Nrco0e (talk • contribs) 16:58, 29 July 2024 (UTC)

That would be a great idea. I believe that cleaning up the technical information is important, as the article is likely to be seen by non-experts in astronomy. 21 Andromedae (talk) 17:03, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
