These days, MIT is a shortened acronym for Hamas...
Best to view anything out of MIT with much skepticism...
Indeed. An orbit of 6.25 DAYS? Seems like that would put the planey impossibly close to its star, or moving at impossible speed, or both.
I had a weird thought while ruminating about this --- what if multiple planets of similar size were orbiting the star, all sharing the same orbit? Or all on exactly the same plane of rotation exactly on our line of view. That might explain why there was little or no "wobble" in the star's orbit --- all those planets counterbalance each other.
Another thought: it's 1232 light-years away. Is there something else out there between the star and us that blocks our view? Or maybe it's just too far away for ANY reliable observations to be made.
