Since we clearly know everything there is to about planet formation, this system doesn’t exist. It’s an undigested bit of beef, or a fragment of underdone potato stuck in the telescope’s lens.

If this planet has 46% of Jupiter's mass, and Jupiter's mass is 318 times that of earth, this planet has 146 times the mass of the earth.

Saturn, the second-most massive planet in our solar system, has less than one third Jupiter's mass.
