I vote we replace TW Hydrae b with a redirect back to this page. Like I did for phi2 Pavonis.
For reference, here was the planetbox which I removed off the front:
Companion (in order from star) |

I've pushed the button. A million voices would have "cried out in terror", if the planet existed which it doesn't. :^) --Zimriel (talk) 18:24, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
Refd to in Swedish SR: Detection of the Water Reservoir in a Forming Planetary System. Could be interesting because it proves something (?) regarding planet formation, perhaps that it is generally wet ... ? Rursus dixit. (mbork3!) 11:09, 24 October 2011 (UTC)
On June 13, 2013, NASA announced observations of a cleared zone 7.5 billion miles from the star. From the claims, though it wasn't stated as such, the claimed mass would be in line with a brown dwarf. http://hubblesite.org/newscenter/archive/releases/2013/20/text/ Wzrd1 (talk) 14:38, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
[1] A new study using data from NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, WISE, and the Two Micron All Sky Survey, or 2MASS, provides new clues in this mystery of galactic proportions. Scientists have identified a free-floating, planetary-mass object within a young star family, called the TW Hydrae association. The newfound object, termed WISEA J114724.10-204021.3, or just WISEA 1147 for short, is estimated to be between roughly five to 10 times the mass of Jupiter. WISEA 1147 is one of the few free-floating worlds where astronomers can begin to point to its likely origins as a brown dwarf and not a planet. Because the object was found to be a member of the TW Hydrae family of very young stars, astronomers know that it is also very young -- only 10 million years old.
What is the exact purpose of the movie in this article? As far as I see it, it's just slow zoom-in onto the ALMA image, that is already in the article, while rotating it. There is no additional information. If this should give the viewer an impression of a rotating disk, I would rather remove it from the article. Disks are differetially rotating with an angular velocity that is depending on the distance from the star. This is not reflected in the video and might misguide the viewer. 146.155.121.166 (talk) 00:41, 3 June 2016 (UTC)
Turns out the bulk of the article was originally copied in verbatim here. The text has been somewhat edited since then but large parts are still word for word. I've commented out the whole lot. The style is not very encyclopaedic and really it needs to be rewritten. The original is not copyrighted, but wholesale copying with no attribution still isn't acceptable.

I am confused on what to name the recently announced ice giant exoplanet orbiting around the star, the one that is possibly forming around 1 AU and the possible brown dwarf at 80 AU. Would appreciate some help on how to organize them.
Here is what my idea is for it (from closest orbit to furthest):
However this makes the discovering terms for these planets way out of line, as from b to d, the discovery dates would be like this: September 2016, 2013, March 2016
To fix this I thought of arranging like this:
The problem with this one is that the EPE lists d in my above solution as "c", which is confusing.
Any help regarding how to how to designate these planets would be helpful. --MarioProtIV (talk/contribs) 20:04, 18 September 2016 (UTC)
