HD 41004 Bb "disguised as a planet"?

Somehow the title of the source uses this, but it does not appear to mean much and so looks copied here from the source's title without thinking. The extrasolar planet with the smallest orbit is now KOI-55.01 at 0.006 AU. --JorisvS (talk) 09:29, 13 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
