NotesThe orbital parameters given above are based on calculations assuming that this planetary object orbits the star J1407. There is some considerable doubt about this, and it now seems more likely that J1407 b does not in fact orbit the star, but rather represents a chance detection of a rogue planet that briefly eclipsed J1407, as seen from Earth.
