[edit] Discrepancies between this article and the linked database

  1. exoplanet.eu has the orbital radius listed as 5.1 (± 1.6) AU, instead of the 4.3 (± 2.5) AU listed here.
  2. The distance of the star is listed as 5.2 kpc instead of the 5.8 kpc we have listed here.
  3. Its apparent magnitude of 19.7 was not listed, although I've listed it now. Does WP:SYN prevent me from using a calculated value of absolute magnitude?

I would fix the first two points if I felt confident enough that I wasn't missing something. As a layperson (with a Masters in Physics/Astronomy), I know just enough to be dangerous. It also took me a while to realize that the discrepancy with the values listed at the Astrophysical Journal abstract were caused by the incorrect assumptions listed in the first paragraph of the Lens system section.
