HD 100546 b disputed

[edit]

Recent analysis showed that the so-called light source from what appeared to be HD 100546 b was from a more diffuse structure.

The visible part of the source may not have been part of such a body itself, but the disturbance in disk caused by what appears to be a much smaller and more distant body (c) completely embedded in the dust shroud, which isn't confirmed by the way.[1] Eric Nelson27 (talk) 21:09, 11 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge it with a different page instead

[edit]

This page was was redirected to List of largest exoplanets. I don't agree with this though. Most objects that were in this list aren't in the largest exoplanets list and mass is different from radius. It could be redirected to List of brown dwarfs instead, as many objects from here are in that list as well and any object with a mass above 13 MJ is likely just a BD orbiting a star (there were a lot of them here).

This page could be redirected to List of exoplanet extremes#Planetary characteristics, which contains, in the "Most massive" part, the information that the most massive exoplanets have a mass of approximately 13 Jupiters. InTheAstronomy32 (talk) 16:52, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
